I've just been on vacation for a full week and it has been amazing! I got to go home for a few days and see my family. I have seven nieces and nephews and every time I go home to see them - around two to three times a year - they've changed and grown … Continue reading The importance of rest

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.

This year, I've really been trying to be out in the community as much as possible because sometimes you have to meet people where they are. There will always be those … Continue reading How to get people to talk to you at open houses
Anguished musicians in YA
This is to be a short post because I'm having a bit of a hard time coming up with content at the moment. I'm blaming this on the fact that I feel hungry and tired all the time. Apparently, this is what happens when marathon training. I had brunch with a librarian friend, who happens … Continue reading Anguished musicians in YA
