Back to School Blues?

Hey everyone, hope you're all having a great time at school so far. And I hope everything isn't too overwhelming! My classes have started up too, and it's going to take a while for my life to settle down into a semi-normal routine, so I definitely understand all the upheaval the first weeks of school can cause.

However! I'm sooo happy to have a lot of you guys in the library more often. I hope you'll all start coming to play video games with us every Tuesday and our regular crafts and stuff on Fridays! Next Tuesday we will be playing Rock Band, which I have only played a few times and really loved (even though I was terrible!)

Tomorrow we're making things out of duct tape! For those of you who didn't come to this craft last year, let me tell you, it is awesome! I'll have a few instructions on things to make out of duct tape, or you can make up your own design. At the end of the hour your creations will be judged by another librarian and the winners will get to take home their own roll of duct tape to continue to make things!

And now, here's some pictures of our week so far!


Ashley: Totally Dance-tastic!

Hanging out with you guys, one of my favorite things ever!


Me and Jenny's mom Rose playing DDR!

Hope I see you soon!

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!

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.  ...
