Hello web!

Welcome to our own first blog. We aim to voice the happenings at a library in an elementary school in the midwest of the United States. We are two tarantula spiders who reside at this library, in two separate houses, of course. We don’t do much all day but eat crickets, listen to stories, and watch the marveled children gape at us. We wish we could tell the children how much we appreciate their interest, but as most of you know, spiders, especially tarantulas, don’t talk. We don’t even see that well!!! We usually feel the students’ presence, sometimes hide, other times do a bit performance. Just today, one child watched as Krista, my Mexican Red Leg pal, ate six crickets in a row! He was astounded.

Some great things that happen in the library will be recorded here, and some that have not been so great. We want to describe what we see, so the friendly librarian that manages the library will remember, then either improve or discard the activities she has planned.

Sometimes, if we get inspired, we might write a few spider stories, riddles, or jokes. We hope that will be the icing on the cake, or as we call it among us arachnids, the dew on the web.
