Several weeks ago, I nibbled about a NASA STEM workshop that I was able to attend. I also mentioned that I'd be presenting at a regional training some of the things I learned at that workshop. Since I know summer reading planning is in full swing right now, I wanted to share my part of … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 10, 2019

We had our first round of summer reading promotional visits this week! We constructed a communication console and mission control desk out of boxes and various pieces and parts salvaged from our Tech Take-Apart Workshop in March, and put on a skit in which I play an astronaut on the International Space Station and Kip … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 3, 2019

Someone had laser cut the Tennessee Library Association logo into wood for when we toured the makerspace at the Chattanooga Public Library. I did a thing way outside of my comfort zone this week. Several months ago, my supervisor received an email that the Tennessee Library Association was accepting proposals for sessions for their annual … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 26, 2019

As part of our library's marketing team, I've been doing a lot of work lately to help promote our upcoming LibCon fandom convention in June. One of my previous Weekly Nibbles talked about filming our first promo video. This week, I got to work on editing and putting together our second promo video. Now I … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 19, 2019

I didn't have a Nibble scheduled this week and I'm fresh off a staff in-service day which is why this one is being posted a little later than usual. I'm not going to take up too much of your time this week because it's been crazy busy for me, and I still have a lot … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 12, 2019

I remember when I was first hired to do public school age programming in 2016 like it was yesterday. I had a lot of doubts about whether or not I could do the job. Coming off of a failed run at being a preschool teacher, I was at a very low point in my career. … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 5, 2019

This week, I was fortunate enough to attend a NASA @ My Library training with other library professionals from across the state. It was a great opportunity to learn about engaging ways to bring "A Universe of Stories" to life this summer, as well as network with others in the field (which I admittedly kind … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 29, 2019

This week I was able to attend my very first library board meeting. Our meetings are always open to staff or anyone else who may be interested, and I've wanted to go for a while now, but I usually have an outreach book club at that same time. However, this week was special because I … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 22, 2019

I have a monthly program called Book Worms that is intended for children five to eight years old in which we read a story and then do related crafts, games, or other activities within a forty-five minute time frame. For next month's book, I chose Not Quite Narwhal by Jessie Sima, which is one of … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 15, 2019

I am wearing an Ian Malcolm inspired outfit of a black leather jacket, green jeans, gray boots, and black glasses, while lounging in front of a black background and reading a book on chaos theory. Some light, casual reading. As library professionals, all of us have had those moments where we think, "Am I actually … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 8, 2019
