On Mondays, I'll be sharing various posts about my experiences as a children's librarian, in the hopes that some of the lessons I have learned will be useful to others, especially those just starting out in children's services. These posts will fall into a number of categories:
- Reflections on Library Service
Each month, I'll provide hints and tips for serving a particular segment of the typical population that visits a public library's children's room. - At the Children's Desk
In these posts, I will share various questions I have heard at the reference desk, sometimes with advice on how I would respond to them. - In the Story Room
These posts will talk about how I approach story time and why and how I do things the way I do them. As summer approaches, these posts will focus on story time starters for the Fizz Boom Read summer reading theme. - Ten Things
In "Ten Things" posts I will share lists of books, story time activities, and crafts for specific themes, occasions, and/or audiences.
Every Thursday, I will post a review of a picture book. These reviews will include brief summaries, comments on the illustrations, story time suggestions, and reader's advisory information.
As of right now, I have an uninterrupted schedule of posts running from October through early March, so even after the baby comes and I disappear into Mommyland for a bit, you'll still get to hear from me twice a week. I hope you will continue to read, comment, and email me feedback even as the content here changes, and that you'll enjoy all the new posts! Thanks!
I'm so glad you're not discontinuing this blog! I'm sure you'll have even more insights as you branch out into the world of motherhood and see your own little one's literary tastes and preferences. Best of luck to you!
