Now that Summer Reading is over and the lull after summer reading is over, it's into Planning Time now. Yup, Capital Letter-type Planning. Since we don't start our regularly schedule programs until October, September has been a bit of a catch up month. I feel like I barely did any collection development during July and … Continue reading The post-summer reading “lull”

I probably can't really be an LCARS librarian since I'm stuck in the pre-warp drive for humans early part of the 21st century. Bummer. But if I could be an LCARS librarian I would. Or I would work in Stellar Cartography. Or is there a library on Battlestar Galactica? For now, I'll just stick to reading books, writing, and earth-bound YA librarianship.
I hope to use this blog as a way to write book reviews for myself and others, and to write about librarianship.

Those are fun, right? This is going to be a bit like that, except it's Tuesday and … Continue reading Saga, Internet-ing teens, bingo, and more
A scavenger hunt
After two weeks of craziness regarding my alma mater (whose letter Obama ignored and signed an nondiscrimination executive order anyway! YAY!), a trip for a funeral to Kansas*, being sick, getting in a mini-car accident** where some jerk hit my two-month-old car, and a ton of library programming, I'm back into the blog. I want … Continue reading A scavenger hunt
