18 CommentsIf you’re trying to study in Butler right now, you probably already know that there’s a giant children’s reading party going on out on the lawns–it’s part of the Times-sponsored Great Children’s Read, and a zillion tiny people have turned out to ensnare you on your way to midterms purgatory.
If you’re able to escape, They Might Be Giants are going on at 3:10 PM. And meanwhile, there’s a certain amount of schwag to be had, including those delicious little greek yogurts.
Update, 2:15pm: The view from a Butler denizen:
Adorable photos of frolicking children the jump.

@charlie driscoll fuck common and tmbg. i saw rufus humphrey from gossip girl read me a children’s story, it was epic.
@damn I missed Common AND TMBG?? Shit, man- we couldn’t get those two acts for our spring concert? Although I’d be amused if we get TMBG. And everyone would be very confused.
Also, posting pictures of random children on the internet without their parents’ permission is usually discouraged.
@but they’re so cute!
@sighting stephan was sighted today waiting in line for common’s autograph, in a casual blue sweater!
@You mean the other way round, right?
@PaternalInstinct Well I’ll be sure to stack up on rubbers because those things (children as others call them) just annoy the crap out of me.
Filthy, filthy little things.
@naw homes they’re cute … but yeah, don’t want em anytime soon
@Bwog... The only place where people will be pissed off at little kids having fun on the grass.
@PaternalInstinct Don’t even get me started on puppies and rainbows.
@yo, You do realize that a lawn which is open very, very few days in the year is being whored out to those kids? Kids don’t need a lawn to have fun. I need a lawn.
@Jumpropes Walking down Broadway, I kept seeing all of these parents children linked by long red cords, and it took me most of the trip to Westside to realize that they were souvenir jump ropes and not child leashes. Oops.
@youforgot COMMON at 2:35. get out there now!!
@shwag? That’s a term for shitty weed. Are the children selling weed?
@Anonymous … none of the high spirits outside make people in the reading rooms and study areas any more considerate of their fellow students during this “busy period”. why do people really have to take up two seats? are the needs of someones possessions really grater than those of someone trying to find a place to study? just wondering…
@report them to a librarian. no camping allowed. the policy exists, now use it.
@Everyone knows... …Fage is the superior Greek yogurt
@schwag really?
@3 fire alarms in twelve hours in EC! That is unbelievable. This sucks!
