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!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

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...

Raven Cycle Fan Art!

By
So. The inimitable Maggie Stiefvater created a deck of tarot cards based on her Raven Cyle series and she's holding a contest to give away 10 decks of them. Keith decided he couldn't do anything worthy but he thought I could.  Since I'd just completed a project using acorns, I thought: "Hey, I could make The Acorn Boys!" And Keith's response was: "You were put on this earth to make Acorn Boys."  And so, I present to you, The Acorn Boys based on The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater.  First we have our heroine Blue Sargent, daughter of psychics but no psychic herself. She reminds her mom of the Page of Cups and gets called Blue Lily by a crazy lady (I chose a Calla lily because I like them better than the other kind, plus I love Calla). She is known for her DIY style and short, dark hair. I made up the rest of her face because there isn't a ton of description about it, but we know she's tiny because she didn't eat her vegetables.  ...
