Blerg

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

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. For those of you who are not familiar with the story, Toto was found in a tree as a newborn kitten after surviving a tornado that swept through Western … Continue reading Toto the Tornado Kitten!

Blind Date with a Book

megarlick916@gmail.com — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:05:26 +0000

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

Here's a list I found - with the help of my good friend, Ali! YA Books Into Movies Definitely eye-catching! … Continue reading READBOX

BEA is Almost Here!

Super excited to be traveling to NYC to attend BEA (BookExpo America) bright and early Tuesday morning! Unfortunately, I will not be able to see Stephen Colbert at the Tuesday Author Breakfast (boo) but I have tickets to the Wednesday Children's Author Breakfast (with 2 of my favorite authors: John Green and Lois Lowry!) and … Continue reading BEA is Almost Here!

Easter Story Time

megarlick916@gmail.com — Thu, 03 May 2012 00:37:56 +0000

Yup, it's definitely past Easter. Trying to catch up on my Story Time posts! Holiday picture books are tough to find - especially for 3-year-olds. They have the tendency to be on the longer side. 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

Earth Day Story Time!

megarlick916@gmail.com — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:00:34 +0000

Skipping the Sunday Quiz to post my Earth Day story time I held this past week for April Vacation. I had about 20 people come, which is a good turnout for such a beautiful day! I kept this one pretty simple. I read The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and we made "litter bugs" for our … Continue reading Earth Day Story Time!

Mrs. Molly Portrait

A couple weeks ago I was working on Saturday and one of our favorite families came in. Their daughter, Sarah, is really into drawing and she drew pictures of Ali and I. They are so cute! 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!

Opening Song My Hands Say Hello (Click here for a previous post on this song w/ words) Books Snowmen at Night is a book I use pretty much every year because … Continue reading Snow-Themed Story Time
