The Boys!

Flat Tatijana thought the Christmas Tree looked so neat.  She learned that is decorated with little pictures of books.  If someone wants to donate a book to the library, they take the picture of the book they like to desk and donate money for the book.


Then Flat T saw this bag all about the letter T.  She jumped in for a better look.  While she was inside she saw all these boys laughing at her!


Next she went to visit the boys.  She learned they come over most every day after school.  They are very well behaved boys and they never make Miss Tina raise her voice.




Flat T thought they had a lot of fun.


She couldn't figure out what they pointing at. After the all the laughing with the boys, Aunt Morgan said it was time to go home with Miss Pam.  Miss Pam was going to take her on the bookmobile the next day.









It was a fun day at Geneva!

The Tree


Aunt Morgan discovered that Flat Tatijana really does like hide and seek.

Aunt Morgan couldn't figure out where Flat T went after trying to get a drink. She found her sleeping with a fox in the big tree.


Then she found her on the stairs inside the big tree:



 








Then Flat Tatijana showed Aunt Morgan the neat window she found in the tree.


















Next she found another hidey hole in the tree:












 


After the long climb to the top of the tree Flat Tatijana could see all over the library!

 
 

It sure seemed like a big library!













Geneva Public LIbrary


Flat Tatijana went to visit the Geneva Public Library when Aunt Morgan had to work there.


She met Ryan - who helps check out books and answer reference questions.










Flat Tatijana learned that the library needs to pass a levy to operate. Money is very tight at the libraries.
















Flat Tatijana tried to get a drink, but Crash the library cat said she couldn't get one.















Even with all of her powers of persuasion, Crash just looked at her and refused to let her have a drink!


Flat Tatijana thought she would get a drink later and went off to discover new things.

Flat Tatijana helps !

Flat Tatijana helped a little girl find a book!

Flat Tatijana meets Miss Shirley




Miss Joannie took Flat Tatijana to meet Miss Shirley.

Flat Tatijana found her favorite book

Flat Tatijana can't wait to get home and check this book out from her own library!  This looks like so much fun!


 

Flat Tatijana finds fun things in the library

Since Flat Tatijana was behaving so well, Miss Joannie took her around to see some of the fun things in library.




First they found the special holiday bulletin board. It is different from the one Flat Maja saw.  Did you know there is a National Goof Off day on March 22nd?  Flat Tatijana thinks she does that most days - Goof Off.




Then they found the monkeys.  Miss Joannie told Flat Tatijana that Aunt Morgan really likes the monkeys.  She is always moving their arms, legs and tails all around!


MIss Joannie wishes Aunt Morgan would leave them alone!




Flat Tatijana found her favorite place to stay :

 

Flat Tatijana thinks she will say in here for a bit and let Miss Joannie have a rest.

Flat Tatijana decides to behave

Flat Tatijana thinks she should help Miss Joannie, since Miss Joannie has rescued her three times this morning.  She doesn't want Miss Joannie to lose her temper.
















She helps a teacher pick out which books to keep for her teacher collection.

Miss Joannie comes running!

Flat Tatijana !!!!!  Watch out!!!  You will be covered in plastic!

 Miss Joannie moved Flat Tatijana over to the computer where Miss Joannie checks out books.

 


"Flat Tatijana, you need to stay here while I finish working on the poster"

Miss Joannie turned and around and what do you think she saw? 
 I think MIss Joannie might have been losing her patience with Flat Tatijana by now.  First getting trapped in the alligator and then twice trying to get covered in hot plastic.  Miss Joannie went to find Aunt Morgan.  


Aunt Morgan had a discussion with Flat Tatijana and mentioned that she needed to behave because was a guest in the library.  Aunt Morgan reminded Flat Tatijana that she spent the whole night alone and cold on the floor because she insisted on playing hide and seek that first night.









 

Help!!!! Help!!!

Flat Tatijana was walking around and around and she found herself in her predicament.  HELP!!! 

 
 Miss Joannie found Flat Tatijana and put her someplace safe where she couldn't get hurt.



 There Flat T is safe inside the St. Patrick's Day display case. She can't get in anymore trouble now.  Miss joannie is busy today and can't keep a steady eye on Flat T.
 

Magazines

Flat Tatijana saw magazines that the girls like to read.

 
Miss Joannie said they really like American Girl Magazine.


What else can Flat T find?

Oh look!  Books on the presidents!  These look like fun!



 





 

Time to go to work

  Aunt Morgan couldn't buckle Flat T in safely. Flat T just leaned up against the back of the car seat for the short ride to work.  Aunt Morgan wouldn't let her get in until the van was nice and warm.














Before Aunt Morgan goes to her desk in the morning, she starts all of the computers and reads the newspaper.  While she was doing that, Flat T checked out all the books that were put in the bookdrop the night before.
