Children's Art on Display
The 2007 "en plein air" El Dorado Art Fair has come and gone. In spite of the rain, lots of kids participated in the children's area activities. Some of the beautiful art they created is currently on display here at the library. This is the fourth year for the art fair, which is put on by the El Dorado Mainstreet Artscape Committee. The "post art fair" exhibit has become somewhat of a tradition. Thanks to all of the the artists who generously provided their works to beautify the library for awhile. The works will be up through Friday, Nov. 16.
Read some of our great books on art and get inspired to make your own art!

Up Comming Teen Program
Help the library customize out bookcart so we can enter Overdue Media's contest. Overdue Media has a comic strip called Unshelved about library employees and things that happened in a library. This will be a two part program. October 16 @ 6 pm we will brainstorm design ideas and on October 23 @ 6 pm we will put it all together. We will also have snacks to help the creative juices flow. Be sure to come to the second program even if you couldn't come to the planning part.
Jim Clements--guest reader today!
I am so happy to announce the second in our series of guest readers for Family Storytime. Our theme today is "art" and we are very fortunate to have a wonderful artist from El Dorado as our guest. Meet Jim Clements!!
What is your job?
I am an artist.
How long have you had that job?
I’ve been drawing my whole life, and painting for about 27 years.
What do you like about your job?
I love many things about it. Since my painting subjects are primarily people, it gives me the opportunity to work with many interesting personalities. I also like creating a likeness of a person or a certain scene, starting with just a blank canvas. Looking at my subject, I react intuitively to what I see rather than rely on formulas. This lets me mix colors as I go, and observe edges, values and use a variety of brushstrokes. When it all comes together and the painting is finished, it makes whatever struggle I had getting it right all worth it.
Is there any advice you would give someone who wants to do the same job?
Draw. Draw everything. Drawing is a great way to improve your ability to observe things, and is fundamental in every form of fine art. Every problem I ever have with a painting almost certainly goes back to the drawing being off. If I take the time to get it right, the painting goes much smoother. Although inevitably, no matter how careful I am with drawing I still often find I’m off a bit as I begin to paint, so I continue drawing with paint. It never stops through the entire painting process. Don’t hesitate to correct mistakes. You’ll be happy you do and frustrated if you don’t. Do every painting to the absolute best of your ability. Also, you’ll never stop learning, and the more you learn, the more difficult the next painting becomes. This is because you know more about what works best, but it isn’t always easy to achieve.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I was interested in so many things; I changed my mind a lot. I was never set on any one career for very long when I was a kid. But the thing that has always been with me was my love of art. It’s how God made me, and I take it much more seriously now than I did when I was younger.
Did you like to read when you were child?
Absolutely! I read constantly when I was a kid. I truly believe there is nothing – not movies, not TV, not video games – that is better for your imagination than reading. Actually, I read constantly even now.
What was a favorite book or author when you were a child?
I really liked books about animals. Two that come to mind that I read numerous times were "Midnight", about a wild horse sold to the rodeo circuit that could never be ridden. I think it was a true story. Another one was "Kavik the Wolf-Dog", about a half wolf-half dog who neither belonged in the wild or in the village. He had to survive on his own in the wild. It’s been a lot of years so I don’t remember the details, but I remember I liked it a lot. I still have both of these books; maybe I’ll read them again!
What do you like to read now?
Art books mostly. I’m always trying to educate myself to be a better painter. I also read biographies, political books, and novels.
Do you have a favorite story/author?
My favorite author is Michael Crichton.
Are you reading anything now?
I’m always reading. Right now I’m reading a book about the history of the United States. I just felt like I need a refresher course. I was occasionally coming across historical references in other books and realized I’d forgotten too much since school. It’s very interesting.
Did you ever try to write a story?
I did when I was a kid.
Would you like to write or illustrate a book someday? What would it be about?
I’m too slow a typist to write, but it might be fun to illustrate a book someday. I always thought it’d be cool to do illustrations for some bible stories. There are a lot of good ones and it’d give my imagination a workout coming up with unique ways to present them.
Do you have a library card?
Yes I do!
Awesome interview, Jim. Thank you so much. I hope to post a pic of Jim soon.
If you missed our first interview, go to 8/30/07 for a visit with our first guest reader, Jon Pic.
Stay tuned to this blog for more interviews.

Thank you for your patience.

Something new has been added!
I am so excited to launch my series of guest readers for FAMILY STORY TIME. Randomly, hopefully at least once a month, I will invite a guest to read a book at story time. I will publish an interview with the guest reader here on the blog on the day they read for us. I plan to have a podcast of the interviews later on, when I learn how to upload the files.
The first guest reader is Jon Pic, a recent addition to the staff at the El Dorado Times newspaper, here in El Dorado. He has generously agreed to donate his time and talents to our Family Storytime. Here is his interview:
What is your job?
I'm a reporter for The El Dorado Times. Glamorous, I know.
How long have you had that job?
I took this position on March 31st of this year, two days before my 25th birthday.
What do you like about your job?
I like that I get an opportunity to learn about things that I might otherwise have never taken an interest in. This job sort of forces me to learn as much as I can about other people's jobs. I often feel like I have to be as knowledgeable about the intricacies of other people's businesses as
I am of my own. In other words, I have to know a little bit about everything or at least be prepared to do some research about whatever subject I'm writing about.
Is there any advice you would give someone who wants to do the same job?
Love words. I like to enhance my vocabulary every chance I get. If I'm reading and I see a word that causes me to stumble ... I won't continue until I've thumbed through a dictionary to ascertain the meaning of that word. That may sound like a chore, but only in the beginning. Then I try to
use those words ... not only in my writing, but even in conversation. Who cares if people giggle at your verbosity? I guarantee your favorite authors love words, too.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a cartoonist or a comic book illustrator. As a kid, I would doodle during class and my mind wandered to the magical worlds that had been created in comics or animations. I would sketch pictures of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Darkwing Duck into my notebooks. I always really enjoyed hearing the compliments of my classmates when they would look over and see
my page of doodles.
Did you like to read when you were a child?
Absolutely comic books. My teachers were always so impressed with my "advanced reading level" in elementary school, I attribute that to my love of comic books. Those books sparked imagination and encouraged a surprisingly adult-level literacy that most kids' books don't offer. And I'm not talking about Archie and Jughead. I'm talking X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman and Superman. Are those books sometimes too violent for kids? Maybe. But I loved them. Still do, though I don't get to read them as frequently any more.
What was a favorite book or author when you were a child?
Well, the book that I remember being read to me in elementary school is "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". In truth, I haven't read the book in ages, so I couldn't begin to tell you what it's about (a bad day, obviously). But I've always been a fan of hyperbole and with a book title like that, Alexander is the king of exaggeration, in my book! Now that I'm reading books to a two-year-old every night, I think Dr. Seuss (A.K.A. the late Theodore Geisel) was a mad genius. Talk about creativity.
What do you like to read now?
I don't read as much as I should, but I'm flat-out voracious when it comes to J.K. Rowling's boy wizard saga, "Harry Potter." Maybe you've heard of it? Otherwise, I try to pick up books that cover subject matter that I find interesting. I picked up a book called "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking". It's an interesting read about the human mind's remarkable ability to act instinctively. I've read a couple of books by Dan Brown..."The Da Vinci Code", of course, and "Angels and Demons". I picked up a copy of Sun Tzu's "Art of War", but I've had a little trouble getting started on reading it. I'm also trying to start reading Frank Herbert's sci-fi "Dune" series. I also like to read books about quantum mechanics (don't laugh) and filmmaking. On the rare occasion that I find a place that carries comic books or graphic novels, I try to find something I can read. I've most recently read Alan Moore's "The Watchmen", which is about to be turned into a movie next year and Neil Gaiman's "Marvel 1602", which imagines the struggles of major superhero icons like Dr. Strange, The Fantastic Four and Nick Fury as if they had existed over 400 years ago.
Do you have a favorite story/author?
I don't think I do. I've always been kind of adverse to the idea of picking favorites. Each story has its own unique charms and reasons for being enjoyable. Why limit yourself to a favorite book or song or actor or anything? Exploration of new things is always a joy.
Are you reading anything now?
Apart from my subscription to Entertainment Weekly magazine? After finishing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", I felt inspired to re-read the entire series, so I'm in the middle of "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone" right now.
Did you ever try to write a story?
Sure. Every time I come to work I get to write a story. Some require more creativity than others, some require none at all. As far as a purely creative endeavor ... I'm more of a movie fan, myself. In the last few years, I've tried to pen a couple of scripts, but I find I get distracted too easily. I did write a ten-minute play and a children's book during high school for my classes.
Would you like to write or illustrate a book someday? What would it be
about?
Without a doubt. I'd love to write a comic book or a fantasy novel. I'm a champion of imagination. There's nothing wrong with historical non-fiction or biographies or literature, but I prefer to get lost in a world of whimsy and wonder. Some people might criticize that as arrested development on my part. If so, just call me Peter Pan. I'll take a strong dose of magic and mystery any day.
Do you have a library card?
When I first moved to El Dorado in 1996, I got a library card from Bradford Memorial Library. I left town for a few years and when I moved back to El Dorado earlier this year, I brought my old library card in and traded it for a new one.
Thanks to Jon. Great interview!

Tomorrow is the last Family Storytime for the Summer session. Mr. Dale was scheduled to perform, but will not be able to, due to a family emergency. We are, however, still having a musical program. The Villigans were kind enough to volunteer to share their wonderful music with us! The performances will be at 10:00 and 11:00, in the Clymer room. Please join us, you will be glad you did!
See you at the library,

One More Weekly Teen Program
Next Tuesday is our last weekly program for the summer. An officer from the El Dorado Police Department is coming to show us how to process a "real" crime scene. We will have prize drawings for some cool stuff. I hope to have a great turnout so tell all your friends to come too.
