If you haven’t noticed the Super Bowl is this weekend, and my teens are extremely invested in which side wins. While the game will be broadcast after most libraries are closed, there’s no reason you can’t kickoff the weekend with a football playlist running in your teen room. I’ve pulled together 25 of the most […]

Dumplin’ Playlist
If you have not read Dumplin’ by the fabulous Julie Murphy yet, go find it because it is a completely uplifting book. Aside from the fact that I was laughing and crying throughout the book, and that if the movie producers a) don’t make it to the screen and b) don’t have a cameo of Dolly […]
Musical Movies Playlist
Whether you’re doing iRead’s Read to the Rhythm, CSRP’s Every Hero Has a Story, or an entirely different reading program for this summer, it seems that you can’t go wrong with throwing a movie musical in the mix. Even the most reluctant teen can get into the fun when you dim down the lights, turn on the captions, […]
Celebrate Spring Playlist
If you are anything like me, you are so ready for spring. Here in Texas, we are on a roller coaster of up and down weather- one day it’s beautiful, and the next it’s a downpour or worse. I have relatives in Illinois and Minnesota who are digging out of inches of snow, while […]

Do you know what this week is? Not ONLY do we have Friday the 13th, February 10th is Extraterrestrial Culture Day.

Forgotten Fairy Tale Movies
I am a sucker for a good fairy tale movie- but it has to be a GOOD fairy tale movie. I know the historical versions from the cleaned up versions, and depending on my mood I can go either way (although, if you take a look around my office, it certainly leans towards the villainous […]
Halloween Party Playlist
This time of year it seems I’m always putting together playlists for work. We need a playlist for storytimes, we need one for afterschool programs, or for the after school camp’s activities. Right now I’m working on our annual Trunk or Treat/Trail or Treat, which is when we have games and activities for the […]
Disney Villain Playlist
I am a huge Disney freak. I love the music. I love the parks. I love the movies (most of the time). And I ADORE the villains- they are what MAKE the movies. So in honor of Disney and Halloween coming soon, I’ve created a villain playlist with my favorite villain songs. See if you […]
