Friday Linkubator Roundup | August 28 – September 3

So… how’s it going? Most of us have returned once again to the school year, the heat is saying its last hurrah in the US, and our attention sometimes strays elsewhere. Hopefully these great links will provide the best kind of distraction for you!

New features:

• Any book involving monkeys in story time is a guaranteed winner, including Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett. Check out how to incorporate movement in this month’s Book to Boogie!
• Ferndale Area District Library hosted a fabulous event celebrating the Beatles, which brought in a crowd of all ages. How cool!

Other news:

• We revisited some of our favorite posts from the past this week: the Interactive Art Trail at Edinburgh Central Library (seriously, click that link) and a unique collaboration between Sanspointe Dance Company and Birmingham Public Library called “Life on a Shelf”.

• What if you could pick an apple with a WORD on it?? What a cool artist project!
• How much do I love these tiny portraits on homes done in thread? So much.
• September 1st means one thing to Harry Potter fans – HOGWARTS BEGINS. This year, the fictional first child of fictional Harry Potter went to school, so J.K. Rowling got in on the action.
• You know about these book-scented candles, right? Now you do. You’re welcome.
• Solar-powered manuscript preservation technology could be on its way!
• *snickersnicker* Updated Children’s Book Classics for Millennials on McSweeney’s.
