A.L.'s Portfolio

I just finished my Bachelors and hope to become a Librarian! Digital and Media literacy are things I am extremely passionate about, and hope that I can utilize my knowledge in the Library Sciences field.

Miniature Room Tutorial Video

For a program at work! My first time making a tutorial video.

[alind2]

the tool that keeps on giving: button maker! Design buttons for a program, let people draw their own button designs, or use weeded books!

this thing is so versatile that I will mourn it if I move to a library that doesn't have one.

[alind2]

Some DIY needle minders using weeded books, bottle caps, 2 magnets, ribbon, and hot glue!

teruteru bozu for anime club!

I've seen in my research that nowadays teruteru bozu are popular charms and come in a bunch of colors/styles. I tried to lean into a middle ground between traditional and modern between the white fabric and the lace.

Final for Intro to Children's Librarianship! Carol Tilley was a fantastic professor and this was an awesome class.

A sequel to my Miniature Look and Find was the Winter Market Look and Find! It was a smash success, fun for me to make and for the kids to look at. Patrons spent a long time taking in all the tiny details, even after they finished the look and find worksheet.

I have to plan for summer now...!

anime club kids making their perler beads (3 of them are actually mine 😅)

[alind2]

upcoming anime club crafts! it's been fun trying to think of stuff that's low cost and enough to keep a gaggle of 12-14 year olds entertained for ~2 hours.

Our first meeting we painted CD cases, like glass painting minus the glass (which was nice for this group).

[alind2]

lots of fun. the kids were so loud.

[alind2]

more anime club test crafts!

my miniature look and find passive program!! it was a massive hit, big enough for patrons to ask for it back :D

I am working on one for winter right now!

Book displays from the last few months!!

and a storytime I covered for a coworker

[alind2]

Not many pictures from this escape room... we sort of forgot. Definitely easier than last year's, which was our goal- but too easy for our teens (perfect for the littles)!

Some tester crafts for work! We did the shrinky dinks last week, and you NEED a toaster oven or else they fail way more often :(

Some little nametags I made for a program. I thought these turned out adorable, and the kids loved them. Wanted something gender neutral, yet cute. I feel bad that little boys are often shunned for liking rainbows and flowers.

A display sign I made for Ramadan! I also printed out some activity sheets from Fun with Mama, and pulled some books about Ramadan and Eid. We have a small Muslim population at our library, so I wanted them to feel included!

The shelf tags in our youth area needed a new coat of paint. I think they turned out pretty cute!
