If you don’t get the reference, then check out this awesome music video.
Fair Warning: you will get that song stuck in your head.
And you’re welcome to everyone who now has that song stuck in their head. Heh.
It turns out that I got some of my themes/months confused. I had thought that our Pokémon Go! décor had been in September. Nope. It was a bonus August theme (thank you to my team for pointing this out to me – and I’ve gone back and corrected my earlier posts as a result). Basically…

Having learned how to use Affinity Designer (think cheaper, but just-as-great Adobe Illustrator), I can now create mashups at lightning speeds! Well, maybe not that…
I had the honor of making another video for the Washington County Cooperative Library System youth service team this summer. A tiny bit of background on this project: the awesome Bryce from S. Bryce Kozla puts out an annual call to all library workers for fun/inspiring videos to help brighten the day of librarians who…
This is one of those rare “Life ‘n Stuff” posts – so feel free to skip it if you’re here for the decor and general library stuff. Seriously – you won’t hurt my feelings. <img class=”alignnone size-large wp-image-2360″ src=”https://hafuboti.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/the_facts_of_life.jpg?w=584″ alt=”” width=”584″ height=”439″> I actually debated for a few weeks on whether or not to address…
