My name is Gerald G. Giraffe.
As some of you may know, I am the mascot of Cambrian Library.
I thank my many friends for taking pictures with me. No climbing on me, though, I am a gentle soul!
You can find me standing by the lovely 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Rocket Display near the 2nd Floor Info Desk!
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
If you'd like to get your rocket ship launched, here is some info from the Library's website:
"1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a free program that encourages you to share 1,000 stories with your child before they enter kindergarten. Sharing 1,000 books is easier than you think!
3 books a day for 1 year = 1,095 books or 1 book a day for 3 years = 1,095 books."
You can register for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten or Summer Learning at the same spot, Beanstack!
Scavenger Hunt: Baby Siblings are Taking a Bath!
You may be familiar with my siblings, Geoffrey, Giovanni, Jane, Gaga, Pancake, Waffle, Gigi, Cloud, Long Legs, and Wanda.
They usually like to hide each month in different parts of the Children's Area on the 2nd Floor. You can get sticker(s) for completing their monthly Scavenger Hunt!
Unfortunately, they all need a bath, so are taking a break in May!
Don't worry, my friends! You can still have fun with our Butterfly Scavenger Hunt this month and get a sticker when you finish! You'll be seeing my baby siblings again very soon.
Here Are Some Fun Things You May Not Know About Me (With an Assist from My Dear Librarian Friend, Thu!)
- I was born in Canada!
- I have a Californian cousin named Geoffrey the Giraffe. Some might recognize Geoffrey from Toys R Us and rumor has it that Geoffrey had to declare bankruptcy. However, I cannot confirm or deny this information because I don't like to talk about family drama.
- I prefer London buses, as they are tall enough to accommodate my siblings and I!
See you at my Library! Wheeeee!
