A huge crowd for the magic show. <br /> Marcus the Magician performed at the library on March 141h. A magic show was planned as the <br /> culminating activity for the MCBA Book Club. Diane Kingsley (who has been assisting with the <br /> book club) and I decided to hold the magic show on an afternoon when Mashpee students did <br /> not have school because of a Teachers' Professional Day. Marcus the Magician performed for <br /> an audience of 270! Not everyone was able to fit into the Events Room, but because it was an <br /> hour long performance, some families left and others took their seat on the floor. After the <br /> performance, it seemed as if everyone went into the Children's Room—it was busier than a <br /> rainy summer afternoon! Fortunately, Claudia was working the Children's Circulation desk and <br /> Rosemary came in to help me with crowd control. <br /> Kathy Mahoney and I presented our Online Summer Reading Program Workshop on March 21't <br /> in Chatham. This was the grant project we have been working on for the Massachusetts Library <br /> System. Kathy and I felt very well prepared for our four and a half hour presentation, and the <br /> positive feedback was reassuring. MLS will award us$3,000 to use toward professional <br /> development and the summer reading program. <br /> Once again this month I collaborated with the Mashpee Family and Community Partnership in <br /> offering a parenting workshop at the library. Paul Melville presented "Parenting Toolbox 4 <br /> Dads" on three consecutive Tuesday evenings: <br /> March 1st Workshop 6 <br /> March 8th Workshop 5 <br /> March 15th Workshop 5 <br />
