So I'm doing a really bad job of this whole "post-two-times-a-week" thing. I'm sorry. I've been skipping Thursday with programming doubled over the summer and trying to take time to get the beach (GUYS! The water was so warm on Thursday - probably because it was 95 degrees all week - that I actually was … Continue reading Busy and my summer guilty pleasures

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.

Go read it right this instant or else suffer my YA wrath. Plus, it saves … Continue reading Go read this immediately!

SLIGHTLY GRUMPY PATRON (grumpily): Are you open on Saturdays anymore? ME: No, sorry, we stopped a few weeks ago. We will start up Saturdays again after Labor Day. We are also … Continue reading Libraries open 24/7? Nice but improbable
How to annoy all of your library departments
. . . have a YA Scavenger Hunt! Whee! Ok, so maybe not all of my fellow librarians were annoyed but I think a few of them were. For my summer reading kickoff party this year, I created a scavenger hunt throughout the library and had the teens solve the clues. It took them all … Continue reading How to annoy all of your library departments
