Hilary Ray had a fabulous morning coloring Easter eggs at the Oakland Public Library. Rosa Schmidt, Library Director, had a unique way of coloring the eggs. She used shaving cream and food coloring, combining the two in a metal pan. Once the two were combined, Hilary rolled the eggs through the color then placed them on newspaper. After 15 or so minutes passed, she wiped the colored shaving cream off and revealed beautifully colored eggs.

Oakland-Craig preschoolers visited the Oakland Public Library Thursday afternoon. Library Director Rosa Schmidt read a book to all of them. Afterwards, they walked around the library looking at all of the books. What they really enjoyed were the baby hummingbirds and baby eagles that were on display through Ustream on the libraries laptops. They were fascinated at how small the baby hummingbirds are. They watched as the mom fed her babies and there were many ooo’s and aaah’s as the little babies rose up in the nest to be fed. The visit concluded with Rosa giving each child a bookmark.
