Big Ol' Post


Sorry it's been so long since I posted last! It's been a busy few weeks. Let's see, what have we been up to here at the library?

We created some much needed spaced in the YA department! Now you can browse for books without bothering the people sitting in the big arm chairs. We're also open to hear any of your ideas about improving the space, so let me know what you want to see in that area and I'll see if I can make it happen!


We've played some games--Apples to Apples which is a hilarious game.

We worked on our Deconstructive Journals and watched Nanny Mcphee.

The TAG kids handed out lots of free goodies at the FIG Festival.

All in all, it's been crazy but a lot of fun. And I suspect it's going to get crazier with End of the School Year Madness. :)

Luckily, my semester is almost over. This means that I finally have time to read anything I want! I've got a whole stack to go through including Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson and Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. Is there anything else I should be reading? Let me know and I'll add it to my list!

Coming up this week is a TAG meeting (tonight from 6-7) where we will judge the poetry contest submissions. And the Coffee House Poetry Reading on Friday, so come dressed like a Beatnik and be ready for some awesome poetry!
Hope to see you there!

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
