Today after work, we had a fun Easter bonnet party at the library for the library staff.  The party included a fondue potluck meal, some fun and games, door prizes, and lots and lots of hats.   We brought in or made or decorated Easter bonnets to wear during the day while working at the library and for the party tonight.  It was funny to see some of the looks we got from our patrons about our hats.  Some were brave enough to ask us about why we were wearing them.  Others were not.  It was an amusing way to spend the day at work.
