Weekly Nibble: October 2, 2020

This week, I had my second Zoom session with my Book Worms kiddos. We read Bonaparte Falls Apart by Margery Cuyler and made Q-tip skeletons. I had fifteen kiddos and it was a wild ride from start to finish. We had multiple technical difficulties, one kid had a breakdown over the craft, and all of … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: October 2, 2020 →

Weekly Nibble: September 4, 2020

I just wanted to pop in to share some good news from this week! Ever since our library closed, we've been hesitant to use Zoom for programming very much. We've used it for meetings and I've used it to update our Librarians-in-Training on library happenings, but not much else. Our preschool librarians are worried it's … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 4, 2020 →

Image is an Animal Crossing villager diving into the ocean from a cliff. Caption reads: "Should I go to work tomorrow or should I fling myself into the ocean" Luckily, this week I haven't had to choose. (Animal Crossing for days! I have really worked on improving my island and breeding flowers.) Hallelujah for vacation … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: July 31, 2020 →

Here I am, back at it again. I just can't help myself. =) In all seriousness though, there is something I wanted to put out there this week for discussion. I finished filming and editing my final summer reading video this week. For almost four months now, I've been doing this digital programming thing and … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: July 17, 2020 →

Weekly Nibble: July 10, 2020

I have been thinking about these blog posts for a few weeks now. They were originally intended to be a small reflection, anecdote, or useful tidbit from each week's work. With COVID-19 ramping up everywhere and no reopening in sight, I just don't think these posts are sustainable in a weekly format at the moment. … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: July 10, 2020 →

Weekly Nibble: May 22, 2020

I did it. I made it through our first week back. I stretched the limits of my comfort zone this week and found it both terrifying and liberating. I still worked from home some, but I think I'm pretty much ready to transition to fully back in the building. It's been very difficult to split … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 22, 2020 →

Weekly Nibble: May 1, 2020

This week has been another of highs and lows. Professionally speaking, it's going as well as it can right now. We are wrapping up our portion of setup for our new online summer reading program and getting ready to send it to the company for quality assurance. We are starting to look at what our … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 1, 2020 →

Weekly Nibble: March 27, 2020

This week marks my first full week of being at home. It's been strange and surreal, to say the least. A great article has been floating around social media this week by the Harvard Business Review that talks about grief (and there have been many others published since addressing this topic). I don't think that … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 27, 2020 →

There is power in saying no. It's taken me a long time to realize that and to not feel guilty about it (and sometimes I still feel guilty anyway). As a library professional, I constantly find myself feeling like I have to be all things to all people and bend over backwards to accommodate everyone's … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: July 5, 2019 →
