Monday's Blog

Welcome to Monday, ah the beginning of a week. Today has been pretty normal. I walked back and forth from one end of the library to the other so many times that I was told to stop as I was making one of the librarians at the Circulation Desk dizzy. She said it was like watching a tennis match. I read stories to the little kids at Kandiland. My google searches included "building trebuchets" "paintballs" and "why are people who are good at Math not good at English?" Two of these three things were completely work related too. The third one has applications to the job though.

Something I don't understand. Talking first thing in the morning. Why? Usually I wake up to an empty house (I mean, my dog and cat are there but they aren't too talkative unless they want something). But some mornings my dad or my sister go into work/school late and they're in the kitchen when I zombie-walk in to make a fresh pot of coffee just the way I like it (with cinnamon), they are more morning people than I am, and while I'm crunching away on my cereal and trying to read they want to talk to me and ask me questions! Seriously, what is up with that? Then I get all grouchy because I want to be left alone to my coffee, cereal and book and also because I can't hear them over the crunching. Just like in this commercial:

Also, today is Opening Day!!!! Yes, it is finally baseball season again!!!!! I've suffered through football and basketball season (not that these are bad sports, they just don't appeal to me) and finally my sport has returned to me!

This will definitely be a highlight to my week: A little girl just skipped in loudly singing "We're gonna find a new book! We're gonna find a new book!"

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

  Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. 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...
