I finished up my last few programs of 2019 this week! Looking back on a year of programming is always fun to do. This year has had its highs and lows for sure, but overall, I think it's been a good one! As an exercise in reflection, I'm going to spend this Nibble looking back … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: December 20, 2019

My first time as a webinar presenter went off without a hitch! I am incredibly grateful to the Nebraska Library Commission for allowing me to present on Librarian-in-Training this week on their NCompass Live show. I hope that the more we spread the word about this program, the more libraries will adapt it and encourage … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: December 13, 2019

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! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, head over to the Much Hamsters … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: December 6, 2019

It's been a fairly short and quiet week. We had Monday off for Veterans' Day, and programming across departments seems to be winding down in anticipation of the holidays. 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

A beautiful, delicious cookie. What's in a cookie? I mean, besides sugar, flour, butter, chocolate chips, all the standard stuff. But metaphorically speaking, what's in a cookie? Allow me to ruminate for a few moments on what this particular cookie meant to me this week. I've been dealing with a lot of emotional and professional … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: November 1, 2019

I don't always recap programs in the Nibble, but this week, I felt like I was back on the horse with my regular school year programs and wanted to share! While I was gone to ARSL last month, I missed my very first Book Worms program of the fall (which Kip was kind enough to … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: October 4, 2019

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
