The early bird may get the worm, but these Tuesday morning visitors to the Charles Santore Branch, 932 S. Seventh St., received something less slimy and more enjoyable — a visit from Elmo. The red raconteur and his furry allies will perform next month in Sesame Street Live “1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo and Friends,” but he gave youngsters a sample of his hilarity during storytime.
Today is Groundhog Day. In Punxsutawney (and other places around the state that are easier to spell), folks anxiously await to see if the groundhog will see its shadow. Some genius figured out that if it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow predicting six more weeks of winter, so it behooves us to root for clouds today.
