The Nightwatch Librarian

Hi I’m Kayla! I have been working at a small town Library for about 3 years on and off due to my undergrad scheduled (Creative Writing Major). Now that that’s done I've started working on getting my masters in Library Science! This is a very exciting and crazy time!

Stephen King Has Written a Children’s Book from THE DARK TOWER Universe | Nerdist

When you think of Stephen King, you think of horror. With modern classics like The Shining, Misery, the Dark Tower series, Carrie, and more, you don't have to go far to get your fair share of literary creepiness with Mr. King. So it's kind of a strange choice for him to delve into the realm of children's literature, right? Not if it's part of an elaborate in-continuity scheme! The children's book, called Charlie the Choo-Choo, is about an engineer named Bob who secretly has a train that is 100% sentient--the train is also Bob's best friend. While Bob's plight may be proof that he really needs to get out more (I wouldn't think a man and a sentient train had that much in common, but I guess besties Bob and Charlie would disagree), the story sounds cute. Like Thomas the Tank Engine mixed with Toy Story, almost. However, the book's interior art and cover stray from that charming feel. Turns out Charlie's face will freak you out more than anything that went down in room 217 at the Overlook

I am very excited about this!

WHEN I’M TRYING TO SHIFT AND BOOKS KEEP FALLING OVER

[the-nightwatch-librarian]

This is the worst especially when its the entire fiction section and you cant move more than 5 books before it happens again DX

A sign of a good library in my opinion is a large and well curated audiobook section!
