A picture book called The Longest Day is displayed on a library table. Today was the first day of summer, and fittingly enough, it truly was one of the longest days I've experienced in a while! A number of things happened that I can't go into, but let's just say that the universe decided to … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: June 21, 2019

I've been ambushed by local media outlets at the library on multiple occasions and called for impromptu interviews by radio stations, but nothing makes me quite as nervous as going on live TV. This week, myself and one of our adult services librarians went on a local daytime show to promote LibCon. We even dressed … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: June 14, 2019

If you follow Much Hamsters on Instagram, you may have seen that I was out making book deliveries this week! This is a service that we started offering to our school age outreach organizations last summer, and has been met with great success. Last year, we circulated somewhere between 600-700 books and only lost two. … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 31, 2019

We had a department meeting on Monday to go over everything with our staff before we jump in at the beginning of June, we finished up our last few school visits to promote (I'll be hearing my … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 24, 2019

Several weeks ago, I nibbled about a NASA STEM workshop that I was able to attend. I also mentioned that I'd be presenting at a regional training some of the things I learned at that workshop. Since I know summer reading planning is in full swing right now, I wanted to share my part of … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 10, 2019

We had our first round of summer reading promotional visits this week! We constructed a communication console and mission control desk out of boxes and various pieces and parts salvaged from our Tech Take-Apart Workshop in March, and put on a skit in which I play an astronaut on the International Space Station and Kip … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 3, 2019

Someone had laser cut the Tennessee Library Association logo into wood for when we toured the makerspace at the Chattanooga Public Library. I did a thing way outside of my comfort zone this week. Several months ago, my supervisor received an email that the Tennessee Library Association was accepting proposals for sessions for their annual … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 26, 2019

As part of our library's marketing team, I've been doing a lot of work lately to help promote our upcoming LibCon fandom convention in June. One of my previous Weekly Nibbles talked about filming our first promo video. This week, I got to work on editing and putting together our second promo video. Now I … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 19, 2019

I didn't have a Nibble scheduled this week and I'm fresh off a staff in-service day which is why this one is being posted a little later than usual. I'm not going to take up too much of your time this week because it's been crazy busy for me, and I still have a lot … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 12, 2019

This week, I was fortunate enough to attend a NASA @ My Library training with other library professionals from across the state. It was a great opportunity to learn about engaging ways to bring "A Universe of Stories" to life this summer, as well as network with others in the field (which I admittedly kind … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 29, 2019
