Usually by now, I'm knee-deep in Thrill the World practices, but sadly, we could not make it work with our schedule this year. In lieu of those events, Youth, Teen, and Adult Services have teamed up to offer an after-hours Haunted Library Scavenger Hunt for ages 10 and up. We've had a pretty explosive response … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 27, 2019

If you follow the Much Hamsters Instagram, you know that I mentioned starting a brand new program series this week. When I first took over school age programming, the book club structure had been the same for a while. The staff person running the book clubs would select one chapter book that the kids would … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 20, 2019

This week's post is going to be the update you should have had last week. I do apologize for the hastiness of last week's Nibble. I don't like to skip a week because I feel it's important to keep in the habit of writing something, but amidst all the travel, it was hard to have … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 13, 2019

So last week when I was like, "Check back next week and I'll update you on the conference," I forgot that my presentation is actually tomorrow! So watch Instagram for updates! I had hoped to share lots of fun pictures of our trip to Vermont for the ARSL conference in this Nibble, but to be … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 6, 2019

Anyone else find it hard to get back into the swing of things after a week off? That was definitely the case this week. Luckily, due to our downtime for planning in August, I'm pretty much caught up on everything and it didn't take long to make up for my vacation. Next week is our … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: August 30, 2019

My vacation hasn't been very eventful, but I'm certainly glad for a week away. I've actually never taken a week after summer reading before, preferring to take my days around the winter holidays and spring break. But I think it's good to recharge after as busy a summer as we had this year, and even … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: August 23, 2019

It's been another quiet week at the library. Today was a difficult day for actually accomplishing work because it was the Friday before my week off! Luckily, I had a little project I was able to help Kip with this afternoon. Our circulation manager announced her retirement earlier this year after thirty-six years of service. … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: August 16, 2019

Sometimes the change of pace between the end of summer reading and the first week of school is so jarring. You tend to forget during the summer just how quiet the library can be. Pretty much nothing eventful has happened this week, and I'm already getting a little restless. However, I'm trying not to take … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: August 9, 2019

What a reprieve this week has been! With summer reading over and school starting back next week, it's been super quiet (comparatively speaking) at the library this week. That means we've been able to jump into fall programming planning! At first, I was still feeling a little burned out and uninspired, but my supervisor asked … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: August 2, 2019

We wrapped up summer reading this week with dance parties for outreach groups (I cannot tell you how tired I am of hearing kids request "Old Town Road") and a huge block party for the public (we had an estimated 400 people attend)! I spent most of the day today clearing my office of the … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: July 26, 2019
