Digging in to Decorations in Somerset

 What do you do with a bunch of kids who are hanging around in the library when you’ve got so much to do–like decorate your space for the summer library program?  Hmmmm….well, if you are Mariah in Somerset, this is a match made in heaven!  She put the kids to work:

And the library isn’t actually in a cave…but it sure looks like it!  The other end of the building is above-ground, with hanging raindrops and rainbows, and then who can forget the worm wall?

All the kids who signed up for the summer program write their names on a worm and find it a happy home in this great habitat, which also includes a hedgehog that started life as a book and some other great details that are hard to see in the photo.  It looks like fun, doesn’t it?
