Mmm...liquid bread.The Maple Leafer just posted a nice list of northeast pub trivia nights.  Sadly, they’re all past my bedtime, but you may have better luck.

Storytime is back!

Now that the February is over, Storytime is finally back at the Northeast Branch of the library.  Huzzah!

The master list is here, largely the same as it’s been in the past. But there are a few new dates I want to highlight (descriptions from the website):

  • Family Story Time – Early learning activities with books, music and movement for parents, care givers and a wider age-range of children.  Wednesdays, March 10,  April 7 and May 5 from 4-4:30pm. And Saturdays, March 20 and May 15, 10:30-11am.
  • Pajama Story Time – All ages are welcome for stories, songs, dances and more. The children’s librarian will be wearing her pajamas. You can wear yours, too! Wednesdays, April 21 and May 19, 7-7:30pm.

I can’t thank the library gods enough for ADDING hours to our branch of the library, versus taking them away.

UPDATE: Talked to the Northeast Branch’s children’s librarian today. Time on the library website was incorrect for Pajama Story Time. 7pm is correct.

Wedgwood wants to hear from you.

Wedgwood: We Don't Need Your Vowels

While we are firmly embedded in Ravenna, our Wedgwood friends to the east apparently want our two cents on their neighborhood (got a postcard about it in the mail just today).

The Wedgwood Vision Project (a committee of the Wedgwood Community Council, funded in part by a Neighborhood Matching Fund award) is “conducting a community survey about issues such as growth and development, transportation, parks, and community activities in Wedgwood.”

The online version of the survey is here. Paper surveys (which you don’t need, since you appear to be using the internet right now) are available at the HomeStreet Bank at 35th and 82nd, or at the Northeast SPL Branch.

The WVP also has a blog up at wedgwoodvision.blogspot.com.

AS IF ALL THAT WASN’T ENOUGH, there is a Wedgwood Vision Project community meeting on Saturday, April 10, from 9:30-noon:thirty at the Wedgwood Presbyterian Church. There will be bagels, followed by a review of the survey results.

No Shh-ing Arm action here.

Post up over at the Laurelhurst Blog about the Seattle Public Library’s “city-wide conversations” being held in the next couple weeks.

This conversation at the Northgate Branch is you North-enders shot at having your say in a North-end branch.

Citywide Conversation, Northgate Branch
