We went to the Minneapolis Central Library for the
Friend's Seasonal Book Sale the first day of the $2 a paper sack week. Our intent was to stock Matt's youngest sister's first grade classroom on the Iron Range. She'd been buying books once a month or so, but this is a much more efficent way to accomplish the same purpose at a significantly less cumbersome cost. $11 bought her kids 186 new to them books for their classroom. Books about sports, letters, numbers, science, geology, space, other countries, persons of historical interest, story books with accompanying audio tapes. . .we scored-- big time, and thus, so did the kids.
Once we'd accomplished our book mission we spent a few hours in the library, perusing engineering texts about materials and calculus,
and wandered through
The Precious Object. An exhibit sponsored by the Twin Cities Decider, mnartists.org, and Hennepin County Library. It was amazing.
If you go, do make sure to examine every nook and cranny on this sculpture. It merits a trip to the hands and knees. . .
