End of the Itchy Feet Season

When the projector screen is raised later tonight, it will signal the end of the 16th season of Itchy Feet at the library. This season we started in the schools of Nicaragua and ended on the other side of the world -- Kruger National Park in South Africa. In between, we covered nearly a dozen countries spread across six continents and visited with authors and artists from our own part of the world.

Highlights included wild animals, beautiful landscapes, exotic temples and peace memorials.

Everyone at the library (and I'm sure all the people who've enjoyed Itchy Feet this season) would like to give thanks to:
