Windows to the Soul

<p style=”text-align:center”><img class=”aligncenter wp-image-420″ title=”Outside view at dusk – you can see the can light’s reflection in the upper-left window.” src=”http://hafuboti.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/marchtwo.jpg” alt=”” width=”584″ height=”806″></p> One of the things that most excited me about the Children’s Library before it opened was realizing how many windows we would have – especially at the front of the building….

Block Party

Because I had lapsed into a blog-funk (a <em>blunk</em>, perhaps? Nope, just looked it up and it’s Urbandictionaried – dagnabbit), I decided that I should try and keep my posts to once-a-week. &nbsp;That decision took pressure off of me in terms of getting something posted that someone out there might find of use or at…

Caddy Monster!!!

As I transition more and more over to the Children’s Library, I’m slowly making my desk my own. &nbsp;I still will, on&nbsp;occasion, share it with my boss – but it’ll be my desk more often than not. <em>(tee-hee!)</em> For my sanity I like to keep things organized (plus the public can clearly see back into…

Library Birthday Party

<span style=”font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625″>Last month our Children’s Library had its One Year Anniversary. &nbsp;Instead of calling it an anniversary, we re-branded it as a Birthday – and we were going to have a Birthday Party! &nbsp;We would read a special story I wrote about how we discovered a “library dragon” living on our property (which has lead…

Set-up is the only time-consuming aspect.” src=”http://hafuboti.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/logo-capture.jpg” alt=”” width=”447″ height=”184″></p> I thought I’d share with y’all what I’ve been working on at the Children’s Library since I’m guessing that other youth librarians out there would enjoy seeing/using this. &nbsp;I’ve generally kept this blog free of…

She’s Got a Ticket to (Not) Hide

I went on a organize-sort-pitch frenzy over a year ago when I came across a bunch of tickets and wristbands from concerts/festivals that I’d saved as&nbsp;mementos. &nbsp;They were just thrown into an&nbsp;accordion&nbsp;file and I felt like I should do something with them rather than keep them hidden away. A few weeks later I spotted a…

Let the Right Monster In

Back when I was a young tyke, my most favoritest book that I made my mom read over and over again was Jon Stone and Michael Smollin’s&nbsp;<a href=”http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Sesame-Street-Little-Golden/dp/037582913X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1353219227&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=there%27s+a+monster+at+the+end+of+this+book” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”><em>There’s a Monster at the End of This Book&nbsp;</em></a>(sadistically forcing her to do Grover’s voice <em>every single time</em>). &nbsp;I believe that I fell in love…
