This week as part of the summer program at my workplace, we offered Night at The Library. It worked on the same basic premise as Night at the Museum; we had staff and volunteers who dressed up as storybook characters come to life. It was a mad crush, people packed in shoulder to shoulder yet happy as anything, enjoying themselves. Wonderful stuff. It's amazing how dressing up cheers everyone up! All the costumes were great, but one of my favourite things was the Talking Frog Prince, an Ikea stuffed frog dolled up with a webcam and Skype, and it was a hit. Our resident programmer is always brilliant, but I think she outdid herself this time! In the background of the top middle photo you can see our CEO dressed as Sir Galahad; a good choice for him as he is a very kind and chivalrous guy, lucky us.
I do wish our library could manage some successful event like this. I really do envy you. It looks like it was a good time.
ReplyDeleteNow if those photos were just a wee bit bigger.
ReplyDeleteJill - it was amazingly successful; the best event produced yet. We were pleased.
ReplyDeleteHistoria - the pics were a lot bigger when I loaded them; I can't figure out why Blogger won't enlarge them when I click on them. Grr. My tech skills are so minimal.Try looking at them here where they actually work!
Oh what fun! What was your costume and are you in any of the photos?
ReplyDeleteStefanie - I'm usually Anne of Green Gables at these things, but I was not there for the whole event so I lent my Anne get-up to another staff member (she was great). I had a lot of fun playing with the frog while it was being set up, though. :)
