And they have a remodeled library & History Center that fits in perfectly! The children's section is great. I headed over there this week with my library side-kick, Sophie and her Mom. (The puppy part and cupcakes are coming up).
This "Orange Crawl" leads into the Storytime Room |
Don't worry - there's a regular door for parents! |

Jungle animals watch, as you pick out books! |
In the center of the room is a huge computer area... |
...complete with animal headphones! |
Our library book picks-of-the-day (two cautionary tales):
Sophie's: THE GREAT WHITE MAN-EATING SHARK, by Margaret Mahy, hearkens back to "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" in a sharky kind of way!
Mine: GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS by Lauren Child. You won't believe what happens to Goldilock's little red shoes!
Now: on to the puppy and cupcakes...
The "Orange Circle" is a traffic round-about surrounding a park in the center of town - right around the corner from the library. And "The Perfect Circle Cupcakery" was the perfect place for an after-library-treat. (We got ours "to go", but the inside of this place is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!) Now for the puppy: Sophie's new Rottweiler, "SADIE"!Sophie's: THE GREAT WHITE MAN-EATING SHARK, by Margaret Mahy, hearkens back to "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" in a sharky kind of way!

Somebody wants to go inside... |
What are you looking at, Sadie?? |
Ohhhh...Sophie's decadent. chocolate. cupcake.
It looks so cute! Can't wait until James is big enough to go. Also, I had no idea That Thing You Do wa filmed in Orange (best movie EVER!).
ReplyDeleteClaire - James will love going to the library with you! Regarding TTYD: I think they had to shut down the whole area for filming - they used Watson's, the Army/Navy store, and others along Glassell. It's fun to watch the movie and then go find the places! You can google images to see which store fronts.
