  • Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box Game Review

    Does anyone still deny that video games belong in libraries? Well, yes, yes they do, but I hope no librarians do. Video games in the library can promote social interaction, which is an excellent thing to encourage when you consider that libraries can also be seen as community centers. But have you thought about all […]

  • Ready, Set, Go! Storytime Can Help Children (and Parents) Become Kindergarten-ready. – 9/1/2009 – School Library Journal

    Ready, Set, Go! Storytime Can Help Children (and Parents) Become Kindergarten-ready. – 9/1/2009 – School Library Journal. A great little post about the importance of storytime.

  • High Standards?: When Books Are Intentionally Shelved Beyond Young Readers Reach

    You don’t want to be the librarians that SLJ (School Library Journal) describes in this blog post. You’d also do well do subscribe to SLJ’s censorship news feed, to make sure you never see yourself in its pages.

    The future of libraries, with or without books – CNN.com. Another OH NOES article about the future of libraries. Another reason that librarians who work with children are extremely important. If we don’t capture the imagination of these children today, we won’t have any library supporters (and tax payers) in the future.

  • telling stories

    I like it when the kids come into the library and say “Hi, Miss Julie!” I like telling stories. I like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. I like singing goodbye to my coworkers at the end of the day. I like…well…learn more about me here. You can also follow me on The Twitter, […]
