Great news! The Stick Library is back!

The Stick Library - Brancheothèque sign with an adorable image of a doggie with a stick leading a stick figure person, a brilliant red heart and a QR code next to: rate évaluez S.V.P
It's a sure sign of Spring that the Stick Library is back.

We made an all new sign that we hope will stand up better to the elements and at least be easier to replace if it does not.

The QR-code leads to the Google Maps link for the Stick Library. We were very pleased with last year's ratings.

People who have followed this blog for a very long time might recognize the canine pictured on the sign. That is My Cancer Sniffin' Doggie from almost exactly 20 years ago. 

You'll notice that the sticks currently in the lending area are a variety of lengths and some are fairly grody. The Stick Librarian has noted that the patrons often prefer particularly fragrant sticks and some of them seem to prefer a length that lets them take up the whole width of the sidewalk.

These sticks were mostly collected from the north side of Gladstone Avenue between Rochester and Preston two weeks ago. 

You might notice that the Stick Librarian has reopened more than a month before last year's opening date. But several humans who accompany dogs expressed their companions' strong desire to have the library reopen as soon as possible. 

An assortment of sticks of varying lengths on interlocking bricks with the words 'Wecome Back' below them, and 'Heureuse de vous revoir' next to them along with a bucket holding the sign shown above
