So apparently my last post was in April. Blerg. I guess between working on my house, my direct sales job, and my REAL job at the library, I just keep forgetting. Sorry. I just returned from a week on Martha's Vineyard which was relaxing, though quite hot. I am tan, but only in the sense … Continue reading Blerg

Toto the Tornado Kitten!
This little girl read the book beforehand and was SO excited to meet Toto! She brought him some food to donate to the local pet shelter.

Blind Date with a Book
Borrowed, yet again, from Pinterest and other libraries, this is my version of "Blind Date with a Book." I used YA books and wrapped them in pretty paper. I printed out blurbs on each book from Goodreads and put them on the front - careful to erase anything about the title, author & character names. … Continue reading Blind Date with a Book

The kids did pretty well with the two I chose: The Story of the Easter Bunny by Katherine Tegen and … Continue reading Easter Story Time

And really good! Also, I love that they say "Mrs. Molly" since that is what they call me now … Continue reading Mrs. Molly Portrait
Hunger Games Trivia Night!
Before I write about my Trivia Night, I just want to say thanks to the librarians in Massachusetts who are so awesome about sharing info and ideas about programs. One of the best resources I found was through our youth services listserv and I don't think I would have found this info without it. As … Continue reading Hunger Games Trivia Night!
