Norse Mythology for Tweens
With the popularity of Rick Riordan’s books, I was sure that the new series Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard would be a HUGE hit, but I think I jumped the gun a little too quickly because most of the kids I know have had the chance to read…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Mittens
I had a really good storytime this week! It was a full house, but the kids were fairly well behaved and loved talking about mittens! Unfortunately, it’s raining and not snowing here… but, oh well! It was still fun to talk about! The kids love doing Once Upon a Snowman (probably because…

Family Storytime Theme: Colorful Chameleons
This storytime was awesome! I enjoy my Saturday crowds because they are a lot of families that I don’t see during the week and are usually very into participating. The kids LOVED the fish song and (once they figured it out) the “Mmm Ahh” song too! They were also captivated…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Winter Animals
We had a really heavy downpour this morning, after a two-hour school delay so needless to say I only had six little ones in my storytime. The show must go on and the kids that were there got a little more individualized attention which they all really liked. They really…

Family Storytime Theme: Color Red
Storytime went pretty well today! The kids definitely got Red by Michael Hall. I made sure to talk about it a little bit before we started and the older kids picked up on the fact that the crayon itself was blue, but it’s wrapper was red. We talked about what…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Color RED
My storytime was definitely not my favorite today, the kids didn’t really seem to enjoy the books but were really into our scarf song. I think part of the reason is that we have a little boy in class with a disability who comes with an adult and an aide…

Toddler Storytime Theme: Snow
Storytime was interesting, to say the least! I have 25 kids registered with 6+ on the waitlist and ended up with at least 25-30 in storytime yesterday. Considering the number of children in the room, the program went fairly smoothly, although I had a few adults that kept talking while…

Family Storytime Theme: Snow
My storytime went really well this morning. We’re offering a family storytime on Friday mornings at 10:30am which is something we’ve never done before and it seems to be a BIG hit already! I think I scared the parents a little because most were very attentive and participative. Hopefully, it…
