Kids made a platypus puppets after listening to stories about wombats, prairie dogs, animals trying to get out of a hole, and Herman the Worm.
Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat paid a special visit to the library to pose for pictures with the kids!
Greg Ruhe was back at the library this summer with another exciting and unusual puppet show to entertain the kids!
Usually when I start something new, my first move is to go to the library to read up on it. With my PAD project, I didn't. I'm really proud of having learned so much on my own.
So for Day 100, I went to the library...to take a picture of all the photography books I haven't read!

On June 4, 2016, Alameda County Master Gardener Pam Johnson led a presentation that covered a wealth of information and tips on how to have a beautiful and productive edible garden in limited space. She provided a variety of examples for planting vegetables, herbs, and fruits in containers on your balcony, patio, window sill, and other spaces. She was assisted by a team of several other ACMG volunteers.
The Hayward Seed Lending Library is a community seed exchange offered at both Hayward Library locations. 'Check out' vegetable and flower seeds to plant in your garden. In return, harvest some of the seeds from mature plants for your own use and for sharing with the Seed Lending Library.
It's easy to become a member or volunteer - learn more @ hayward-ca.gov/seeds . Join the interactive forum on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/groups/haywardseeds/. The Hayward Seed Lending Library is sponsored by the Friends of the Hayward Library.

The State Library of New South Wales, part of which is known as the Mitchell Library, is a large heritage-listed special collections, reference and research library open to the public. It is the oldest library in Australia, being the first established in the colony of New South Wales (now a state of Australia) in 1826. The library is located on the corner of Macquarie Street and Shakespeare Place, in the Sydney central business district adjacent to the Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens, in the City of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The library is a member of the National and State Libraries Australia (NSLA) consortium.
The State Library of New South Wales building was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon, assisted by H. C. L. Anderson and was built from 1905 to 1910, with further additions by Howie Bros in 1939; by FWC Powell & Sons in 1959; and by Mellocco Bros in 1964. The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
History:
The first library collections were part of the Australian Subscription Library which was started by a group of wealthy Sydney citizens in 1826. It was then purchased for £5,100 by the New South Wales Government in 1869 and became the Sydney Free Public Library. In 1895 it was renamed the Public Library of New South Wales until its most recent name change in 1975, when it became the State Library of New South Wales
Establishment (1826–1900)
The Australian Subscription Library was established in 1826 at a meeting at the Sydney Hotel chaired by barrister John Mackaness. Library membership was subject to committee approval. Dr James Mitchell, father of David Scott Mitchell (who would later bequeath his collection to the library), was a committee member from 1832 to 1853 and Vice President from 1856 to 1869.
In December 1827 operations began in rented premises in Pitt Street and in the two years following, the library led a peripatetic existence having been located a few years in George Street, Bridge Street, Macquarie Street and Macquarie Place. The library had financial problems and required more space to house its growing collections but negotiations in 1838 to construct a new library building broke down over member unwillingness to broaden access to the library. Fortunately for the members later negotiations with the government were more successful and construction of a new library building began in 1843. The foundation stone for this new building, on the corner of Bent and Macquarie Streets, was laid by Alexander Macleay and the library was opened in 1845.
Financial difficulties continued, and by 1869 the subscription library was in serious debt. The New South Wales Government was persuaded to buy it for £5,100 (£1,500 for the books and £3,600 for the building). In September 1869, the Sydney Free Public Library opened its doors with a stock of 20,000 volumes. Over 60,000 people visited the library in its first year of operation as the Free Public Library. Robert Cooper Walker was appointed Principal Librarian. He, in collaboration with the Trustees (led by Charles Badham), worked to expand the educational role of the library both through collection expansion and the production of printed catalogues of the library's collection.
The library expanded its operations, opening a lending branch in 1877. This lending branch was handed to the Sydney Municipal Council in 1909 and later became the City of Sydney Library. Another of Walker's initiatives was to establish services across the state, with loans to organisations including the Wollongong School of Arts and the Mechanics' Institute at Plattsburg (modern-day Wallsend)[8] and services for regional libraries from 1883. The library's collection continued to grow, causing continual storage and overcrowding problems;[11] new additions included a First Folio in 1885 and the papers of William Bligh in 1902
