Mock Caldecott 2015
I’m working on trying to get some programming planned before Thanksgiving rolls around next week, so I’m scrambling to come up with some great ideas that are easy to plan and implement. We have one more Fun Friday program before the end of the semester and as it’s on Friday,…

Fun Friday: Electricity
Last Friday we ended up with a huge crowd for Fun Friday with a STEM focus on electricity! I had a few kids start the program complaining they didn’t want to do science. But, I like to think we do science in a much more fun and interactive way than…

Story Time Theme: Red
Today was our last storytime of the session and although I absolutely love storytime, this session has been rough! I don’t know what it was – the kids, adults, some combination of the two, but it seemed out of control each and every week. We’re changing the schedule a little…

Enchanted Library – Success!
With the help of 20 middle school students, staff, and hours of work our 6th Annual Enchanted Library was a success! We had 310 community members take 16 tours through the library in 2.5 hours on Friday evening. All of the actors and tour guides did a great job! Cam…

Story Time Theme: Yellow
We are continuing our color-themed story times this week with the color yellow! With only eight kids in attendance, I thought we’d be able to whiz through a lot of things, but the kids were very squirmy! Even so, I was able finally to use the nursery rhyme cube, but…

Boo — And I Mean It! (Junie B. Jones Event)
Last night we hosted a Junie B. Jones event at the library, because, let’s be real, we all love Junie B. Jones! We had a great sign up with over 25 kids on the registration and waiting list, but sadly only 11 showed up for the program. But we all…

Story Time Theme: Green
I think the universe finally saw it fit to provide me with a really great storytime (finally)! The past few weeks have been very busy, chaotic and not always the best storytimes I’ve offered. But today, it was awesome! We focused on the color green today and boy did we…
