Remember our constellations? Now they have numbers and if you can name them, you'll get a small prize! And if you don't know them by heart, we've got some reference material available, too.

New Year, New Ideas
I’ve started this “I’m back from my unannounced and quite sudden hiatus” post seven times. So much of being a young adult librarian is wrapped up in the “to be” category, where all the potential meetings, spontaneous programs, and general havoc live. Life in the fast lane, I guess. But, it’s not as if I lacked material to write about. Quite the opposite. There was so much, be it programs or those…

Celebrating ADA
Teens get sick. Some end up in hospice care. Some have mobility aids, some have hearing aids. And there are some who don’t even look sick. They get the stares from strangers, because no 17 year old needs a cane, and no normal 15 year old needs pain medication. (more…)

The Art of Carrying Around a Ton of Stuff
I was gifted a pretty spiral-bound notebook by one of my new (and also anonymous) coworkers.

Dog VS Cat Month
We saw Hafuboti’s awesome post ( http://hafuboti.com/2014/08/13/cats-vs-dogs/) on their Cat vs Dog event and we wanted to do a similar month-long event of stealth programming. One of my Children’s Librarians put together an awesome window display featuring two popular pets, Pete the Cat and Clifford the Big Red Dog. We continued that blue cat, red dog theme and let families vote on their favorite pet on our office window. They chose an Ellison Die shape to represent their favorite pet and taped it to the window to vote. Dogs won! We also did a scavenger hunt in the Children’s Department featuring popular cat and dog characters from children’s books. Kids loved it. I added a binder at our early literacy table to encourage writing. Kids added a page to the binder, drawing their favorite pet and telling us a little about it. This format was a lot of fun and we’re planning our next theme for the fall.
