I'm a few days late posting this but I wanted to share what my TAB group put together for an Anti-Valentine's Day display in the Teen Space. They did a great job, and some patrons even added their own heartbroken literary character names to the list!

It's that time again - Banned Books Week! One of my teens found the idea on Pinterest (of course!) and my amazing assistant surprised me by creating this display for me in the Teen Space, complete with a Passive Program!

Little Free Library Spotting!

Last week, my family and I rented a house on the Cape. I took my daughter for a walk and found this adorable Little Free Library in front of a cute little house. I was pretty excited - I've never actually seen one! There was even a baby bunny sitting next to it. You cannot … Continue reading Little Free Library Spotting!

It's that time of year again - Harry Potter's Birthday is, today, July 31st! And we celebrate every year at our library with a themed party. In the past, I've called this program "Harry Potter's Birthday Party" but I changed it up this year and renamed it "PotterFest." The new name seems more appealing to … Continue reading PotterFest 2017!

Fun, Easy & Inexpensive Teen Programming: Decorating the Teen Space!

megarlick916@gmail.com — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 04:08:20 +0000

One of the "perks" of being on the Teen Advisory Board at my library is getting to set up displays and decorating in the Teen Space, especially for holidays. I usually make it part of a regular meeting or schedule a "special" meeting to decorate. In the past few years, the teens have made a … Continue reading Fun, Easy & Inexpensive Teen Programming: Decorating the Teen Space!

Happy (Late) Thanksgiving!

I had to share this amazing centerpiece made by my mom (who also cleaned and cooked an entire dinner on Thanksgiving !) She is also a librarian - we are very good at multi-tasking. (This is obviously a Pinterest idea, but I don't know where it came from!)

Pigeon, amusing, outspoken and often times devious, was not really taken seriously as a candidate for president. Pete the Cat - known for sage advice in his "Groovy Guides" to life and love, was thought to be … Continue reading Election Day in the Children’s Room
