52 for 150: What’s So Special About Your Library’s Schoenhut Circus Collection?
It's week 52 of our Kansas Sesquicentennial video series—our last video for this project, and as toys can be such a part of the holiday scene, we thought we'd wrap our year-long video series with a look at our antique Schoenhut Circus collection. These toys date back to the early 1900s. Children could collect them and stage their own "play" circus, complete with clowns, animals, ladders, balls and a variety of other props. The figures are moveable, jointed with heavy rubber cord and painted in bright enamel colors.

Staff Day 2011: Jessica & Lukie
One day each year, the Library Board of Trustees closes the Library to allow all staff a day of learning, skills training, camaraderie, and a festive holiday lunch. In a 45-minute afternoon breakout session, a group of eight staff members of varying levels of technology experience and comfort gathered in the Library's Digital Media Lab to create slideshows from photos they snapped over several hours earlier in the day. They worked together on something that most of the group had never done before, creating memories for our staff and a story for our public. These are those slideshows… this is one story of Staff Day 2011.
