I moved from the DFW Metroplex to Orange County, Florida last December, and one of the first things I did was get a library card. I cannot live without having a library and it makes me feel settled. Little did I know that the OCLS will deliver to your home your requests. This is something […]
This was going to be a Star Wars appreciation post. It is, after all May the 4th and May the 4th be With You. Instead a couple of things came across my twitter feed yesterday that caused me to get a bit upset: Five starred reviews + an NYT notable book and some dude tells me the problem […]
Today I’m over on Teen Services Underground talking about some really easy self directed programming for May. Which means, programs that you or other teen specialists can set up with a little involvement and let go, yet will have tons of teens get involved! A complete win-win as May is typically a crazy month for […]
With the huge success of Captain America: Civil War overseas and the predicted smash this coming weekend compared with the apparent flop of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, it’s obvious that Marvel has the formula for their movies down while DC is scrambling.

And since one thing we highly encourage is for them NOT to dog-ear our books, having an abundance of bookmarks and bookmark crafts is a good thing. One […]
I think if I didn’t do an anime/manga craft every so often my teens would revolt. They are so into their favorite series that they would stalk my office waiting for new volumes and give me pages and pages of suggestions for new series that we should have carried. Sadly, we never had the budget […]
My tweens and teens are in love with emojis. Half of their devices’ memory is specialized emoji, whether it’s additional faces and gestures or specialized characters devoted to their favorite fandoms and movies. There are times when I will get messages from them entirely in emoji, and I actually enjoy figuing out the puzzle of […]
