Hi all! At one of our recent cohort meetings, I mentioned a non-PLIX “pickle autopsy” program I ran at my library for teens. There was lots of interest in how I put this together, so I’ve been asked to share. Here’s the [Google Drive folder](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1feBkuf3mXunswqF5ZURCiYUmImAev6TD) of the resources I adapted and what I adapted them into - now with pictures! I’m far from the first educator to give this a try; I borrowed the idea from a librarian friend, who borrowed heavily from classroom teachers. I kept what served and left what didn’t (I think the gang concept is a little weird and potentially reifies harmful racist ideas, for instance, but toyed with the idea of having the Montagues and Capulets get into a brawl) - and I hope you will, too! If you “remix” this idea, I’d love to hear about it! I ran my program for grades 6-12, knowing my attendees tend to skew on the younger side of that range, so I didn’t include any materials that were too terribly sharp. I also very much did have a teen ask if they could drink the leftover pickle juice. Let me know if you have any questions! My teens had a blast, and honestly, so did I 😃 ---

One of my favorites, too! “What’d you do at work today” “Oh, hot glued googly eyes to pickles” 👀 ---

Definitely one of my favorite things about being a librarian: the absolutely random, fun things we get to do as part of our job. This past Saturday I dressed as the Fifth Doctor for our “Who’s Doctor Who?” event, and next week I’m testing light painting for a program at the end of December (…could that be a PLIX activity?..) ---

Hi Stephanie, Thanks for sharing about the light painting. I’ll have to think about how it might fit! ---

My initial thought is shutter speed and long exposure, perhaps also about coordinating with others on how to paint a multicolored/multilayered image. I use this website for inspiration and tutorials: [https://dariustwin.com/](https://dariustwin.com/) I’ll report back on what we did and how it turned out!
