The balloon man was incredible. His name is Joe Oleszczuk! The kids wearing his creations throughout the library could be spotted by the variety, intensity, color and height of the creations. Many of them looked like something out of Dr. Seuss! Stay tuned for contact information for him. If you want to book him for an event, you can get in touch with him HERE.

Scott Malyszka has a site and a CD...you can check them out by clicking here.
The book sale was very successful and a good time was had by all!
