Slice of Life Day 7: Finding Wildlife
I live in a very busy suburb of Philadelphia and yet if you look and listen closely enough, I’m always finding wildlife that surprises me. My dog, who I talk about fairly regularly here, loves early morning walks. We’re usually out the door before 7am strolling through the neighborhood. The…

Slice of Life Day 6: Tropical Day
After a very long and very snowy February, one of my department heads floated the idea of a themed dress-down day – something beach-y and tropical in the midst of our cold winter. I thought it might be the perfect thing to brighten up the library after a dreary start…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/1/2021
What I Read I’m cranky. And I know it’s because I’m not putting enough time into actually reading. This week I finished both books from last week, and that’s it. I finished up The Losers at the Center of the Galaxy by Mary Winn Heider and I’m listening to Three…
