Wendy, a delightful librarian in Munich, Germany reached out to me to see if she could help contribute even more languages for my images! One of her first contributions comes from a Japanese parent volunteer. She gave me two options: one for public libraries, and one for school libraries.

I could bore y’all with the origin story of how I got this idea, but I’d rather just get to the good stuff: the sharing! Look at what I did: I created the minimalist yet diverse images and quotes to go in our activity tables’ window. The idea is to swap out the quotes every…

Last year I had quite a memorable passive event on April Fool’s Day (basically, I fooled people so well that three of my five “silly cover” books were checked out to patrons. Side Note: every single one was returned a few weeks later with their sticky-tacked covers still on them. I never found out if…
This year I was given the go-ahead to do some creative reworking of our teen space, and it’s been pretty fun. One of the best decisions I made was ordering a bunch of Umbra’s Strum Wall Organizers (FYI: I’m not being paid for this recommendation). We’ve been wanting to order a slat wall endcaps for…
