Do you know what happens when there is a snow day? Everything closes, even the library. We are aware that everyone gets excited for snow days because it means they don't have to go to school and they get to go out and play.
But for us, snow days are lonely. We spend the day in the library all by ourselves. No little kids to watch scrunch their faces up to the cage, no staff members to talk to us, no conversations to listen to, or parents to tell us we are pretty. Just the two of us together.
Now don't think that we're ungrateful - snow days are also a day for us to explore the library. We get to read books, play with the trains, and even explore the internet. After all how do you think we get to write this journal. Plus it gives us a chance to really stretch our wings and fly. This past snow day we got to sit on the bird house by the window and watch the snow fall and see the squirrel who was very busy. He kept running to one side of the window and out of sight, but when he came back his cheeks were stuffed. We weren't sure what he was doing, but guessed he was collecting food.
Another thing we did was ride the shelves. Its a fun game we've discovered here at this library. Though Miss Renee has informed us its a bird only game. We sit on the top of the stacks, one of us pushes the button and flies up to sit and we take a ride as the stack moves. Its rather fun. But our favorite thing to do is find a cozy spot to read. Sometimes we read out loud to each other and sometimes we read to ourselves. But reading helps the time pass.
We would like to know: what do you do on a snow day?
