Last Snowfall of 2016?

Depending upon how you look at it, today was our first accumulating snowfall of the 2016-2017 winter season; or it was (possibly) the last snowfall of 2016 (December still has a ways to go yet, so let's not count our winged dinners early.  Just saying.).  Last sounds better, but then there's all of 2017 to contend with, so we're not out of the proverbial woods yet.

The snow is quite pretty, especially when I'm inside safe and warm (at home; I don't roam around town anymore--hence my retired moniker). Minions, make with the winter wonderland library photos.  As always, click the pictures to bigify.

Want to see the snow actually falling?  Sure you do.

Drive safely out there!  If you're walking, also be careful--sidewalks are slick.  Of course, we felines have our own built-in traction devices--you could call it four-paw drive--so we're pretty sure-footed on snow and ice. Well, sure-pawed, really.

Broadway Gal's Hoosier Literary Map

Broadway Gal, who used to be director of youth services at my Library, but is now the director of the Indiana Center for the Book, as well as supervisor of the Professional Development Office at the Indiana State Library, spearheaded the ICB's 2016 Indiana Literary Map project, which is available online--free for the clicking.

The map is part of the state's bicentennial project, and so it features 200 top Hoosier authors (for two centuries of Hoosier statehood).  It's great for readers interested in Indiana authors, or for teachers looking for Hoosier reading assignments for their students.

We have a few copies of the map in our Indiana Room Roving Reporter Room.  Drop by to pick-up yours (while supplies last).  Or look at it online.  It's your call.

I noticed that they omitted moi from the map, but that's okay.  I'm guessing only human authors were eligible.  Maybe someday someone will create a famous Hoosier kitty map. Perhaps I'd be included.  It would be an honor.
