COMMUNITY Ashland Library celebrates bubbles galore

Co Ntributed Report

People of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents, enjoyed creating enormous bubbles at two Big Bubbles programs at the Ashland Library during spring break. Participants used homemade wands made of bamboo or drinking straws, yarn and a weight (to hold open the yarn). They dipped their yarn into the special bubble solution and lifted the wands, held them wide, and hoped that the wind didn’t chose that moment to pick up. “There was a whole lot of exploration and experimentation going on,” said children’s librarian Awnali Mills. “The best part was seeing families playing together. I love when I can get a too-cool-for-school dad to pick up a wand and join in the fun. They’re the biggest kids of all!” The library held children’s programs every day of spring break except for Friday, giving families who chose to stay in town an option to keep kids occupied. “There just isn’t a better place to find entertainment than the library.”
