What's your dream?

Dream BIG has been the theme for the library's summer reading program.  We've had BIG programs, BIG audiences, BIG craft days with hundreds of participants and some BIG donations made to our partner, the Amherst Food Pantry.  But what are you doing to fulfill the directive to Dream BIG?

For one participant in our teen reading program it was going on an underwater expedition. Trigger fish, giant sea turtles and even the occasional sea cucumber at home in the sparkling blue water made for a very interesting trip. 

I've only seen sea cucumbers on a restaurant menu, and then never a good choice.  The sea cucumber can live up to ten years and collects food off the ocean floor, sweeping up algae and small aquatic animals with its foot like tentacles. 

But wait...what's Alex pointing to?  What's that large grey form silently speeding toward the divers?  The ocean is silent but the rush of oxygen through the hose and the sound of your increased heartbeat pulsing in your ears means the approach of one 400 pound underwater predator. 

What's your dream? 

Tell us your dream or better yet send us a photo.  Many dreams begin at the library.  For Alex it was here that the story began.
