Post Easter Blues

I love Easter! Who doesn't love the opportunity to eat more chocolate than is good for a small African nation? Yes, those who are allergic, but my motto is 'Less for you means more for me'.
I apply this as often as possible, that explains everything doesn't it? Well, to more exciting stuff. We have now opened our School Holiday Bookings and we are ready to have some Superfun!! We will be kicking off Youth Week April 5 at Gordon White Library with a cartooning workshop with Harry Bruce. He is going to help you to create your own Superhero! Then on Tuesday April 8, 9 and 10 we begin our round of library mayhem. We will be creating our own Superhero costumes complete with cape, mask and wristband. there will also be some games to play and our usual lucky door prize. Then to finish up Youth Week we will be screening X-Men on Friday April 11 at Gordon White Library. Remember to book so that you don't miss out.

Mackay Regional Council

Welcome to the Mackay Regional Council LIbrary Service. What a mouthful! Thankfully I haven't had to get used to that tongue twister as yet. But, what does that meant for you? Just that you will be soon having more stuff happening in a wider area. Yes, but what does it mean? I don't really know, except that now we are going to be bigger and better than ever. I know that you reckon that if one really wants to get bigger then you can just eat more takeaway and drink stupid amount of soft drink and take the exercise level down to nil. I would argue that I do that already. Except for the soft drink.

Now to the fun stuff. We are gearing up for Easter. WOW- chocolate!! That pretty much covers Easter for me. We are also madly trying to finalise our activities for School holidays and boy do we have some fun planned. Since 'Superheroes' is the theme we have decided to become our very own 'Superheroes'. I have the super power of book location. Come on, what do you mean that doesn't sound like a super power? Have you ever tried to locate a book when the only information that you are given is that it is red, about *this* big and it has a boy and a dog in it? Well, have and let me tell you that requires Superpowers.

Swappsies.

We have now swapped the PS2 and X-Box360. If you want to try some different games, in you come. I am so looking forward to playing these different games. Yes, I know that only 12-18 year olds are allowed to play, however I am only 16, in my own mind, and I have to know how to play the games in case anybody requires assistance when they wish to play. So there! Star Trek : Legacy is the one, the absolute one, and Amped is a close second. I love to think that I am able to do some serious snow boarding and wicked tricks. Stop laughing and pointing at me, I know that I cannot actually do that, but I am more than capable of turning out a few virtual tricks. Or should that be virtually capable? I leave it to you to decide.

March Madness

Mad as a March Hare! That phrase was coined in England and the simile refers to the beginning of the breeding season in what is their spring. It's Autumn here though that doesn't mean that we can't always be a little crazy around this time of year. That would explain why I thought that it was a good idea to be in an ENORMOUS play and learn obscene amounts of dialogue. Have you been thinking about coming to see 'Agnes of God'? You should come on along. The response has been very positive from all our audience so far and we are looking forward to another 2 weeks of rave reviews. The play asks each audience member to think about and question the basis for, their faith. It is a thought provoking piece and very demanding for the 3 cast members. We don't do all the work though, we need the audience to become immersed in the story and feel the trauma that all the actors are experiencing. Oh, come on, you know that you love a bit of drama with a dash of madness and a smattering of laughter.
On a library note, we will be swapping the PS2 and X-Box 360 locations next week, so a whole new raft of games and a different machine on which to play them. Yippee!!
