At the urging of my husband (who is my adviser in all things Internet/marketing) and in an effort to make my most useful blog posts more shareable, I am excited to announce that I have created a Pinterest account for Much Hamsters! There you will find programming posts divided up by type with accompanying pins … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: November 22, 2019

Weekly Nibble: November 8, 2019
I'm a firm believer in focusing on the little things that bring you joy. This week, it was an unexpected (perhaps even unintentional?) donation that came our way. I have been wanting a portable rolling crate for outreach for a while, but figured I'd make do with my free tote bags from library conferences since … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: November 8, 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

Not a lot of programming this week, as I've mostly just been recovering from the Haunted Library Scavenger Hunt. (I'm going to see if my cohorts would like to write a collaborative blog post about it at some point.) Kip was back from vacation this week, and after a (somewhat) brief hug/puddle session on the … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: October 25, 2019

I hosted my second Book Scouts program this week, and this time, I highlighted some of my favorite spooky reads! I quickly realized as I was composing this list that for me, spooky has much more to do with how a book makes you feel than the actual content. As a result, some of these … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: October 18, 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

If you follow the Much Hamsters Instagram, you know that I mentioned starting a brand new program series this week. When I first took over school age programming, the book club structure had been the same for a while. The staff person running the book clubs would select one chapter book that the kids would … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 20, 2019

This week's post is going to be the update you should have had last week. I do apologize for the hastiness of last week's Nibble. I don't like to skip a week because I feel it's important to keep in the habit of writing something, but amidst all the travel, it was hard to have … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 13, 2019

So last week when I was like, "Check back next week and I'll update you on the conference," I forgot that my presentation is actually tomorrow! So watch Instagram for updates! I had hoped to share lots of fun pictures of our trip to Vermont for the ARSL conference in this Nibble, but to be … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: September 6, 2019
