Cake report

If you had been wondering what happened with the cake and electronic and experimental music event, we did document the cake. Here you go: the image is of a dentist with a dental tool in his hand. The patient has his mouth open, and the caption reads "Cake: the dentist's friend." For good measure, we had the cake decorators add "I love the library."

The music was a total hit with us and our neighbors, and we hope to do a whole bunch of outdoor music next spring. Thanks to the awesome musician friends who did it for the library!

See you soon! And don't forget the math part from the other post: math homework help is up and running.

Cake! and Pizza! Chess club! Music! Math!

Cake! Cale alone is very exciting for us, but when you add in pizza, chess club, and 3 music performances in one go, the excitement may be too much and the ship may sink. This Thursday! at 5:30, come one, come all!

So how is math homework going? Everyone forgot almost everything about math over the summer, but it's all coming back to us. Washington Park Library is the math homework capitol of Rhode Island, so come on in with your math. Even our security guard, Julio, is fond of math. Our goal is for everyone to do their math homework every day. We may have to hold a math contest by the end of the year. Plus, we've added a lot of math books that you can check out of the library and take home. If you don't have a textbook, and just have a worksheet, you definitely should think about checking out a math book that has some examples and an explanation of the kind of math problem you're working on.

It's hard to know which is better: math? cake? pizza? Math will help you more in the long run, but pizza definitely tastes much, much, better.
