Winter Solstice: 16 Pictures Books About Snow
Happy Winter Solstice today (if you live in the Northern Hemisphere). I’m one of those people who love the idea of snow, but if it makes it difficult for me to do anything, then I get cranky. I think it’s beautiful to look at and it’s so quiet when it’s snowing…

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…
