RANDOM ACTS..July 7, 2019

Over the years, the Dragons have posed for a lot of photos.  What you might not know is that some of the photos never made it to the blog, or were planned-for-but-never-used for scenarios, or were made via personal request.  Sometimes, the Dragons posed for photos as a “shout out” to a special person… here are some of their favorite “never-used” images.  Do YOU know who they are honoring?

If YOU would like to suggest a photo-op of one or more of the Dragons recreating a special moment, highlighting a special person, recreating a special book scene, etc., please send an email and we will see what can be done:  adrianbranchlibrary@gmail.com

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA! July 4, 2019
