I have spent most of the second half of 2015 working with my Assistant Director and co-workers to turn the Teen Space into a MakerSpace at The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County (OH). Below I will share with you the most recent version of our project outline, which has gone through a […]
As you all probably already know, I work for a public library. My library system has a solid video games budget but like most librarians, I’m looking to get the best deal on video games. Since I won’t be posting on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I decided to create a “Black Friday Wish List” of […]

It’s been a hard weekend and there’s been a lot of things said and you can read about all of it elsewhere, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to say what’s important to me. I’ve been a person of faith my entire life. I’m an adult and I choose to continue on this […]
The teen lives in a Paris themed bedroom. I tuck her into bed by pulling an Eiffel Tower blanket up to her chin and kissing her goodnight on the forehead. We dreamed of going to Paris this summer as a family for our 20th anniversary until we realized that people who struggle to feed their […]
Today as part of the Traffick blog tour, author and #SVYALit Co-Creator Christa Desir (Other Broken Things coming in January 2016) is interviewing Ellen Hopkins for #SVYALit. You can find all of the #SVYALit posts here. And let me just take a moment to say thank you to Christa and Ellen for their time. Ellen […]
