Bring on the highly anticipated three-day weekend! I am ready! Our pace has slowed significantly as we wrapped up our Epic Athenaeum series last week (for more info on this digital program series, check out this Weekly Nibble). I'm now working on a much simpler weekly series called Fairy Tale STEAM (stay tuned for July's … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: July 3, 2020

Trying to remember this little snippet of wisdom as it looks like it may be a while yet before my job returns to any semblance of "normal." It's been so easy to get caught up in comparing my digital programming to what other people are doing (including sometimes, my own coworkers). Never have I felt … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: June 26, 2020

This week I want to share with you a series of digital programs that a coworker and I have had a ridiculous amount of fun (and spent a ridiculous amount of time) creating this summer. This was the brainchild of Kip and she has done all of the video editing magic. Typically during the summer, … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: June 19, 2020

We now have two weeks of curbside service under our belts! I have learned so much about circulation, and it's been so great to see some of our regular Youth Services patrons and meet some of the adult patrons I never get to see. Here are some highlights from the past two weeks of curbside: … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: June 12, 2020

I've been spending a lot of time listening over the past couple of weeks, trying to figure out how I can be a better ally to the Black Lives Matter movement and learning about ways to help. Sometimes the messages are contradictory, but I feel that I have to take it all in, figure out … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: June 5, 2020

As I left work today, I could feel the excited yet apprehensive buzz in the air. We begin curbside pickup and online summer reading (and roof construction) on Monday! We've all been trained and cross-trained and had practice runs and filmed tutorials and prepped for first week's programs and every other thing in between. I … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 29, 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

We are heading back to work on Monday. Well, some of us are. While our building won't be open to the public still for a while, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. I've hardly left the house at all in the last two months and the few times that I … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 15, 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

This week, I'm putting out a plea! One of my programs that was cut short when we closed the library was an annual Battle of the Books with my outreach book club. Every week, we'd learn about two books and the kids would vote on which one made it to the next round until we … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 24, 2020
