Monkeybusiness with a movie star and childhood hero
In case you were wondering whether I really am working in a public library, I'm attaching a photo to provide proof.
Yes, Curious George, hero of the books of my childhood, and star of the movie currently in theatres, visited MPOW and did a storytime today. After the story, he posed for pics w/ all of his adoring fans, (most of whom were measurably under 3 feet tall) and signed autographs. However, all of us on staff, most of whom remembered him from his print-only days, before his big-screen debut, wanted pics too.
We must have had 60 people, at least, for the program. The ripple effect of the busy-ness was that we actually had to kick people out of the library at 5:05, when closing time was 5:00.

My dad and mom on living room sofa--this one is reversed, I think.
My grandfather standing in front yard. Mom's "playhouse" is on left amidst shrubbery. The front patio is semi-hidden behind the shrubs in front of the house.
