Another beautiful summer week is about to begin and I am ready to see some old friends! This week is the first trip to the Cape this summer with Monday’s visit to Harwich and the Brooks Free Library. I get to visit this library every summer and I am so happy to be there so early this year! I am going for a re-visit to the Plymouth Yacht club during July 4th, which is amazing – but I end the week at one of my favorite places; Book Love!

Back in 2006 I was honored to do a show in the James Library in East Freetown. I still have that sweater and, with alterations, sill make appearances to this day when the weather gets chilly around autumn.

And we’re off! Summer has began and I am ready to go! Starting with one of my favorite libraries, Holmes Public Library! A Monday night show to start the week off right, I then head to Hingham Library for a Wednesday morning show. I love starting the summer off with these two libraries and to boot I get to bring Pliant McTwist to the Walpole Library!

I love the crowd shots. I love seeing when the parents are even laughing along. Those are my favorites! Another image featuring Max – the puppy I never really use anymore. It makes me feel like I should bring the bug guy out of retirement.

Sorry the image scanned crooked.

A lot of programs are getting ready to close and begin the summer sessions! I love being able to see the final days of school. It reminds me of the excitement that I felt when the latest school year ended and the new year was ahead.  In between was the glorious days of summer where there were no responsibilities to deal with! No homework, no test to study for – and these days, Big Ryan Shows to look forward to!
