Zoo Fun @ Your Library w/Joy Harsh
Joy Harsh, Abilene Zoo Educator, came out for her last stop at the Abilene Public Library by visiting the South Branch location. With her, she brought an assistant, Andrew, and two special animal guest friends to teach kids about animals and even let them touch some of them. The featured animals were Rufus, a 5-year-old alligator and Jojo, a 10-year-old Ball Python. Zoo Fun programs are popular events for kids during the Summer Reading Clubs.

52 for 150: What’s So Special About Your Library’s Chinese Pewter Collection?
For week 33 of our Kansas sesquicentennial video series we're featuring our Chinese pewter collection. Pewter is a metal alloy consisting primarily of tin and small amounts of other metals like lead and copper, although today, most pewter is manufactured lead-free. "The history of tin goes back to the Sumerians who produced bronze (a copper-tin alloy) nearly 4500 years ago. The oldest known pewter is about 3500 years old and comes from Egypt. Pewter from China dates back at least 2000 years." [1]

52 for 150: What’s So Special About Yoshiro Ikeda?
For week 31 of our Kansas sesquicentennial series we're looking west to Manhattan, home to renowned ceramist and Distinguished Professor of Ceramics at Kansas State University, Yoshiro Ikeda.

Ikeda is a Japanese immigrant whose family settled in Portland when he was teenager. He earned his bachelor's degree in painting from Portland State University. "Throughout my artistic career, I have drawn inspiration and ideas from my surroundings and experiences. My works have reflected the organic aspects of nature, the ever-changing weather, and the art of dancing. Form and surface are woven together, creating an endless line of movement," says Ikeda.
