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.

Mostly, I want to be a Children's Librarian when I hear about programs like this one over at the Show Me Librarian (Missouri! My birth-state!) where they had a professional ballerina come to talk about ballet, read a book, do some crafts, and take photos. Seriously!? This is such a fantastic idea. She even teaches … Continue reading Sometimes I want to be a Children’s Librarian

The reason I go to work everyday

~ lcarslibrarian ~ 2 Comments

It's not because I'm supposed to, or because they pay me to, or because it's glamorous. It's because I love working with my patrons, and my teen patrons especially. Yesterday I had a drop-in games and crafts program in our teen space. I had a handful of kids not traveling for school vacation and whose … Continue reading The reason I go to work everyday
