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!

Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*: As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers... I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!

I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti
