Director’s Thoughts – 12/15/2021
It’s that time of year when there are sweet treats all over the library from staff and patrons alike! After a cookie baking marathon, I brought in cookies for my staff and my Board this week which was a lot of fun. And today, I’m handing out my end-of-the-year appreciation…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 12/13/2021
What I Read This week I read exactly what I planned to read – Saint Ivy: Kind at All Costs by Laurie Morrison. This middle grade book is set in Philadelphia, which I love because I live in a suburb not too far away. I also finally tried out that…

Dewey Decimal System Day
How did I not know this was a thing?!?! It’s Dewey Decimal System Day! I want to share just a little information about this system of classification that is used worldwide, tell you a little bit about why it’s not always the best option, and give you some resources for…

What I Read I finished up One Kid’s Trash by Jamie Sumner this week… and that’s about it! With extra nights at work and working on Saturday, my week filled up faster than I expected. I’m also super excited because I joined a local rock gym (and have the blisters…

Moroccan Carrot and Chickpea Tagine
If you had told me a few years ago that this is a recipe that I would be making and enjoying, I would have probably laughed right in your face. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always enjoyed cooking (and eating), but I’ve never been super adventurous with my eating. I…

What I Read I finished Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls by Kaela Rivera and loved it all the way through. I’m a huge fan of books that bring to life multicultural folk and fairy tales or books that have that “folk tale” feel. I didn’t have a lot…

Director’s Thoughts – 11/4/2021
