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.

I am not good at planning. Well, I'm OK at life/social planning because that usually involves someone inviting me to a party and me accepting.

I was probably reading adult books at this time, generally in the sci-fi and fantasy realm. I had already devoured … Continue reading Do it anyway – giving up on a book

I forgot to post on Sunday because I was getting ready for 'Library Camp' also known as NELLS 2013! I mentioned NELLS here before but if you've forgotten it's the New England Library Leadership Symposium put on about every other year by the New England Library Association (NELA). NELA's website says the purpose of NELLS … Continue reading Library camp AKA NELLS 2013

Candy Sushi – I could have done it better

~ lcarslibrarian ~ 8 Comments

I had my candy sushi program this week and it was fun! There was a lot of prep the weekend before and the morning of like going to the store to buy the candy. Side note: it took me about 15 minutes of wandering the store looking for fruit roll-ups for the "seaweed" to go … Continue reading Candy Sushi – I could have done it better
