It's been a pretty quiet week at the library with everyone sort of winding down and doing holiday things. Not a lot to report except that "plate-skating" as it was dubbed by one of my kiddos yesterday was a big hit!

It's like we're cozying down and getting ready to hibernate (which I 100% support)! I had my second Book Worms of the month this week, which … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: November 15, 2019
