There was a tap on the door. “Come in,” he said. He turned. It was Demelza, carrying a candle. She did not speak. The door swung closed behind her. She hadn’t changed and her eyes were like lamps. “What is it?” he said. “This frock.” “Well?” “The bodice unfastens down the back.” “Well?” “I can’t reach the hooks.” He frowned at her a moment. She came slowly up to him, turned, set the candle clumsily upon a table. “I’m sorry.” He began to undo the dress. She felt his breath on her neck.

Ross Poldark, Book Two, Chapter 25

He put the scythe on his shoulder and tramped over to the hay field, which lay on the northeast side of the valley beyond the apple trees and stretching up to Wheal Grace. A large field unenclosed by walls or hedges, and the hay in it was a good crop, better than the previous year, yellowed and dried by the last week of sun. He took off his coat and hung it over a stone at the corner of the field. He was bareheaded and could feel the warmth of the climbing sun on his hair and open neck. Natural enough that in the old days men were sun worshippers; especially in England, where the sun was elusive and fitful and always welcome, in a land of mists and cloud and drifting rain. He began to cut, bent a little forward and using the body as a pivot, swinging in a wide semicircle. The grass toppled reluctantly, long sheaves of it bending over and sinking slowly to the earth. With the grass went patches of purple scabious and moon daisies, chervil and yellow buttercups, flowering illicitly and suffering the common fate.

Happy smiles all around from this sweet library kid! She won this grand prize from attending Literary Lego sessions over the summer. Closing out another fantastic summer feels good and we can't wait to see everyone at the fun programs we're planning for the fall!

The last Literary Legos session finished up this week! Lego sessions are so fun and we love seeing the dinosaurs, houses, rainbows, and everything else our sweet kids dream up. Literary Lego sessions are held during school breaks, so keep an eye on the calendar to sign up for next time!

We love seeing kids immersed in the moment, focused on their play! We had the last round of Literary Legos this week, and we're always so glad to see kids grow in confidence and create new things. Every child took home a snack and a Lego activity book thanks to our sponsor, Save the Children. We can't wait to see who wins the grand prize- it's an amazing Lego set of dinosaur fossils. Thanks for building with us!

We used our imaginations in Literary Legos this round! The library kids were so exited to show us their fantastic designs. Each child took home a snack and a super cool Lego activity book thanks to our sponsor, Save the Children via a Summer Reading Grant. Thanks for creating with us!

We love the sound of Legos tumbling out of a bin, ready for kids to get creating! Our library friends had some great smiles after building their creations. Two of our participants were big winners this week and took home their very own kit. We'd love to hear your favorite memory of building with Legos when you were a kid below!

We completed TWO full weeks of spring break fun. The kids built so many great things at Literary LEGOs, including a mini version of the LIBRARY!
