"Children read to learn -- even when they are reading fantasy, nonsense,light verse, comics or the copy on cereal packets, they are expanding their minds all the time, enlarging their vocabulary, making discoveries: it is all new to them."

Stealing Good Ideas

I'm on the social committee at work and even though there's five of us only two of us really come up with ideas for fun things to do at work. And can I just say how thankful I am that the library community is all about idea stealing sharing?

I recently read a post from the amazing Lisa Mulvenna over at Libraryland. (You should also follow her on Twitter  @lmulvenna) about a nifty little thing she and her fun committee did called Candy Madness which you can read here. Well, I immediately emailed the post to the other woman on our social committee and we both agreed that it was something we HAD to do. Unfortunately I didn't see Lisa's post until after March Madness so we've decided to run ours through the month of May. I must say, it has taken a little more time to set up than I had anticipated but we are excited and hopeful! I've spilled the beans to a few coworkers about what we're up to and they're super excited! I mean, who wouldn't love to get the chance to eat candy and then vote for which one is the best? 

I'll make sure to keep everyone posted on how it goes and who ends up being the big winner!
