Baby steps.
In a story published Friday, a high school newspaper staff questioned the legitimacy of the recently hired principal's degrees and of her work as an education consultant.
Wow.
Well done.

Literally my life right now. 😱😭
A library should not shush…
#GiveBooks this holiday!
Hmmm there are tons of books I wouldn't read that I know a kid would love. Particularly sports themed fiction lol. But I can't tell you the amount of times I've put Kid Owner in someone's hands and they've come back to tell me how much they liked it.

I walked into a window at work, so my coworker did this:
Young adult fiction is like totally lit right now. (There, I’ve given away my advanced age in the first sentence.) Actually, as you may have noticed, YA has been popular for quite some time, …
Young adults are uniquely situated to marshall in the future—not least because they actually are the future. Here are three things to know about teenagers: 1. Teenagers read more than adults. 2. Teenagers—particularly teenage girls—are living at the cutting edge of the English language. 3. Teenagers care about politics, and they are generally highly progressive and open to change.
“Writing a book is so easy.”
Yes. Writing a book is the easiest thing in the whole world. In fact, let me show you just how easy it is!
Goal: change all this paper into a book.
Eh, not that hard. I mean, you just have to read, right?
Maybe scratch a few notes in the margins as reminders.
Yeah, writing and editing isn’t time consuming or painstaking at all.
In fact, I find it quite relaxing. Good meditation. No stress whatsoever!
I mean, it’s not like writing a book involves any train of thought or decision making, like when to cut scenes, because whatever you write is perfect and there to stay!
I mean, come on, it’s not like I’m going to rewrite the first chapter 51 TIMES to make sure it’s how I want it, right? That’d be crazy.
And no, it’s not like I spent over 3,000 HOURS READING AND REVISING 14 DRAFTS OF THE BOOK to make this book readable.
No sweat, no tears, no blood, and DEFINITELY no coffee stains.
Nope, writing is the easiest job in the world. I don’t see why anyone thinks otherwise. I mean, all we do is scribble words and take a few out, right?
We feel no satisfaction AT ALL when we receive a shipment of the final product for a book signing. *yawn* BOR–ING.
Nope, we don’t get excited at all. It’s just another day in the life.
And the sequels? Bitch, please. That’s child’s play.
You’re right. Writing a book is so easy. It’s not stressful, not exciting, and it’s definitely not worth the reward of holding something that USED TO BE EXCLUSIVELY IN YOUR HEAD AND NOW YOU GET TO SHARE IT WITH THE WHOLE WORLD.
Im not sure this scares me or inspires me…
Happy Pi Day everyone!
If only it meant we could have infinite pie.
!!!!!! (that’s my excitement)
We’re hosting author H.M. Bouwman at the Main Library this Saturday, March 18, from 10:30 to noon where she will lead a FANTASY WRITING WORKSHOP! You’ll learn all about world-building, creating memorable characters, and leave with an idea for a story of your own. Ages 10 and up are welcome! Her book, A Crack in the Sea is a great example of fun world-building and had many interesting and inclusive characters. Anyhow, hope to see you there!
that looks like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. a thought-provoking commentary on the nature of SRP or just a coincidence?
@oracleanne Saw this and thought of you!
Oh my god, this is too real, especially the part about Minecraft books
This is pretty accurate.
I DIED at “find Minecraft books”
