Hi there. This is my first post to my first blog! My friend Jason says you should always try something new once in a while. He's right.

I love stories: hearing them, telling them, and making them up!

My favorite place for stories? The library, of course. This is the coolest place, where you can borrow a book for absolutely free. They also have DVDs, CDs, and all sorts of other stuff. Your librarian can help you find anything you're looking for.

Psst! Here's a great secret!

Every summer, the libraries have a Summer Reading Program. You can earn all sorts of prizes just for reading books over the summer, and there are lots of special events and parties too. Why am I telling you this now, in January? Well, tomorrow we at Acme Balloon Co. are going to be at an event where the librarians can see what we do, and that way they know who they want to hire to perform special shows at the library. Then, this summer, I'll post a list of all of the libraries where you can see my Balloon Reading Adventures show.

I'll be back every once in a while letting you know cool stuff about balloons. Thanks for visiting my blog!
