1950’s not your style? If you want to flip back in time for Valentines (or any time for a teen program) try the 1960’s. Instead of bobby socks and poodle skirts think of the mod and miniskirts, flipped hair, and the beginning of the hippies. Jacqueline Kennedy, Twiggy, Austin Powers, and the Beatles. Gilligan’s […]
You’re running along, thinking you’ve got everything planned out, and then out of the blue, it’s, MISS, are we doing something for Valentine’s?!?!? Um, well, actually…. *bangs head on desk* Why not throw a retro rad program? My teens are always wanting to do something if they’re hanging around, and more often than not multitask- […]
I spent the weekend learning to make fishtail Rainbow Loom bracelets with my tween, in part because we are making Divergent faction bracelets at my upcoming program for the movie release party. Also, because I am a mom that rocks. I decided to add bottle cap charms to give it that extra touch. Here’s what […]

|After the success – and fun – of my Doctor Who program, I decided to have a Sherlock themed program. Pop culture is a great programming tie-in. For Sherlock, I am doing some hands on forensic science projects as well as some crafting projects. The forensic science themed projects can be found here at my […]
I am crafty. Well, I sometimes pretend to be crafty. Well, actually, I think about being crafty. Occasionally, I attempt being crafty. And as a librarian, I *do* end up doing a lot of crafts with tweens and teens in the library. So I am all about crafts, even when my execution leaves a little […]
Last year for Christmas, The Mr. and I bought the girls this big box thing of sprinkles. I’m not going to lie, it really just appealed to my organizational nature – I am a librarian after all. We used the sprinkles exactly twice. Once to make cookies. And a second time when the Tween had […]
Puppies, kittens and babies (oh my!) What do they have in common? A large portion of the population thinks they are cute. I propose they are cute because they are tiny. I mean, have you ever seen those tiny baby shoes? Totes adorbs, as my Tween would say. Because we seem to be drawn to […]
As part of Quirk Books Week, I am rerunning an earlier post about the Tales from Lovecraft Middle School, a great read for Middle Grade readers who want to be afraid – but not too afraid. Fans of Percy Jackson may also like it as a bunch of mythological creatures are also pulled into the […]
