Have you ever yearned to: embalm a chicken, coordinate a puppet wedding, host an overnight teddy bear sleep-over, or teach Windows Movie Maker with a laptop mobile classroom? If so, please send your application and begin a journey of adventure – just remember: this is NOT your grandmother’s library.
