As can be guessed from the title, I'm going to try to make this a monthly feature. This Month At The Library will be updates on life at my home library, sometimes in-depth, other times brief. Today, let's check in on our monarch butterflies in the Children's Department.
One of our caterpillars, which I've taken the liberty of naming Eric, has entered its chrysalis. The shell is still mostly opaque, but in some places it's starting to show through, so it still has a few days to go. You're doing great, Eric!
When a caterpillar goes into its chrysalis, it becomes literal goop before it reforms into a butterfly. So remember, you may be a pile of goop before you reach your goals, but that's just part of the process. You can do it.

Caterpillar 2, who I've named Carle, got a new leaf of milkweed while I was on desk yesterday. Carle has been a Very Hungry Caterpillar, which is its job, so well done Carle. It seemed to be slowing down, and wasn't very interested in the new leaves at first, and I had to help it along to a new leaf. We think that's a sign that it's getting ready to attach. Keep up the good work, Carle!
While on desk, I read to the future butterflies from an educational book, How To Be A Butterfly by Laura Knowles and Catell Ronca.
It was very edifying.
