Beary Good News

Crawford was so excited to get a postcard from his new friend, Library Teddy, he asked the mailman every day if he had a letter. Every day, Mr. Steve said no. So Crawford sat in the lobby, waving at all his friends riding by, waiting for his postcard to arrive.

And it did!

Crawford wanted to look up where the postcard came from, so we started looking at books about Ireland in the Walkertown Branch Library. This, of course, led to Crawford wanting to plan a trip to visit Library Teddy. I told him, "we'll have to wait, but we can send another postcard to say hello!"

Crawford insisted I e-mail Miss Aoife to let her and Library Teddy know we had received their postcard safe and sound. What a surprise it was to learn our postcard had arrived in Ireland around the same time!

Crawford keeps asking me when we will write back to Library Teddy, he loves to send letters to his friends.

Many thanks to Aoife and Library Teddy at the Portarlington Library. You can follow Teddy's adventures on their Instagram page.
