alphabet letters with road lines

The Play and Learn area of the LE Phillips Memorial Public Library is big, beautiful, and super fun.  It might seem implausible that a small library could do any of the cool things they are doing in such a lovely big space, but many of their offerings would work really well in a small space with limited resources.

Case in point?  Alisha sent me some great photos of their Alphabet Road Trip–letters that look like roads, complete with matchbox cars for driving on them.  She even said that if you want to contact her (alishagreen @ eauclaire.lib.wi.us) she is happy to share the PDF of the letters with you.  Cool beans!

The same day, I got a message from Jill about a newscast the youth services staff did to promote their new play and learn activities.  Fun?  Definitely fun.
