We’ve hit spring and summer, so today I’m taking a look at ways to integrate Star Wars in new ways throughout the fall and winter months. August sees the biggest shift in programming dynamics within public and school libraries- public libraries see their tweens and teens starting back up with school activities long before […]

Star Wars: A Year of Programming, Part II
Yesterday I shared ideas to incorporate Star Wars into programming from January through May in ways that you may not have though of- definitely more than May 4th and 5th (May the 4th Be With You and Revenge of the 5th respectively). Today I want to focus on the summer months: June, July and August. For […]
Star Wars: A Year of Programming, Part 1
Star Wars is all that my range of geekdom wants to talk about- what happens next, did you see that, did you catch that reference, why are they waiting until 2017 for the next one, etc., etc., etc. Needless to say, my tweens and teens are geeking out as well- since Star Wars is such a […]
Star Wars Programs for Teens
With Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming December 19th (right in time for everyone’s winter breaks, yea Disney) and the full length trailer released last week, my teens have talked about NO-THING since, and probably won’t. At least until Mockingjay Part 2 breaks through their consciousness, and then it’ll be back to Star Wars. Star Wars Reads Day and […]
Bloody Wicked Vampire Movies
So we’ve talked about horror/suspense movies, and we’ve talked about killer zombie movies, so the next move would be vampire movies for a perfect Halloween night, right? Not fuzzy relationship movies, I’m talking about fang-bearing blood suckers with supernatural abilities that you do NOT want to be on the wrong side of, day or night. […]
Killer Zombie Movies
What would Halloween be without zombies and zombie movies? My teens are hooked on The Walking Dead and Z Nation, and are slowing getting into Fear the Walking Dead (it started a little slow for them, but now it’s getting there), and the new movie coming out, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, has them organizing movie trips. One of the […]
Easy Gift Making Programs
Today I’m over on Teen Services Underground sharing ideas on how to put together gift making programs for tweens and teens. These are easy and fun “craft” programs where teens can create scrubs, salts, no bake mixes, or other easy, low-cost presents to give to their family and loved ones during the holiday season. […]

Doctor Who Program- 2015 edition
Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman Doctor Who returns to BBC America on Saturday, September 19, and my teen Whovians (and I) cannot wait for the return of our favorite time traveler. Back in 2013 I co-wrote this piece on putting together a 50th anniversary party for your library; since then I’ve changed blogs and we’ve […]
Back to the Future Program Ideas
If you have not been on the internet for the past year, I’m going to let you know now, THIS IS THE YEAR that Marty from Back to the Future II arrives in the FUTURE. Now, whether you celebrated on New Year’s, in June, or on another date, I can forgive you, because there are a ton […]
