Summer Reading Club and Programs at the Library!

I know you're excited about summer, who can blame you? But you know who is even MORE excited about summer? ME!


I've got a bunch of excellent things planned in June and July, for instance: 



See that last program on the brochure? It's an overnight lock-in. That's right, 12 hours IN THE LIBRARY. No one allowed in or out but Young Adults. BUT, you have to attend 3 programs and read 21 hours in the Summer Reading Club. "But Sti, how do you join the Reading Club?", you ask. Or you would if this were an infomercial...This year we're going digital, so starting June 1 (yes, a Sunday and yes before school is technically out) you can go to the library's website or the library (free) app and sign up to log your hours spent reading this summer!

Here's what the website will look like when you get there: 


Create an account and log your hours! The website will keep track of them and tell you when you've earned a prize. Just as in years past there are 5 stages to the club:
  •  Stage 1=3 hours 
  • Stage 2=6 hours (9 hours total) 
  • Stage 3=12 hours (21 hours total) 
  • Stage 4=24 hours (45 hours total)
  • Stage 5=48 hours (93 hours total)
Now before you start complaining that 93 hours is so much time....93 hours over an 83 day long summer (June 1-August 22) means you only have to read 53.4 minutes per day. TOTALLY doable. Especially if you're listening to audiobooks or completely that dreaded but mandatory and not always awful require summer reading for school. 

Okay, that's all I've got for now. If you have questions, leave me a comment or come in and see me! I'll be the one rocking the rainbow hair all summer!

DFTBA,
Sti

Post-Thanksgiving Post

:) Did you like my pun there? I love bad jokes. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did, I love cooking with my mom, I love eating, I love taking family pictures, I especially LOVE cranberry sauce and PIE, and I even kinds love washing dishes (don't laugh!) so Thanksgiving is pretty much an ideal holiday for me. This year it was also my grandma's birthday so I got to talk to her on the phone for an hour. Well...maybe talk isn't the word I should use, listen is better since my grandma likes to ramble on and on. Remind you of anyone you know? :) Leave a comment to tell me about any fun traditions you have on Thanksgiving? My sister reenacted the funny commercial where the grandpa eats a scoop out of the pumpkin pie and then fills it in with cool whip! Hope everyone also survived the insanity of Black Friday! I ventured out late that evening when it had died down, but I didn't buy much, just an awesome cd and my sister bought a wonderful documentary: ...

Reading Rainbow-Hair

A few months ago I decided (with the help of several teens) that I wanted to make my own booktube channel of youtube and now it's a reality! If you don't hang out in the bookish community on youtube I'll explain, booktube is basically what it sounds like. Youtube channels dedicated to people reviewing and talking about books. Lots of them focus on new YA books but really people read across all genres. That's what I want to do. I'm a Youth Services librarian, so I read and love a lot of YA books, but I also read didn't genres/age groups etc. and I'm going to talk about all of them on my channel. BUT I won't just be talking about books by myself, some episodes will feature guests stars! First though, I recapped my favorite books from 2014 in two episodes (I talk so much we had to cut it in half). Watch them! Do all those nice things you can do to a youtube video: Like, Comment, Share, Subscribe! Stay posted for more! DFTBA, Sti
