I have never 3-D printed anything, but I have seen them at work and at our Iowa State Fair and they are fascinating machines! While my academic library cannot afford to have a 3-D printer for our makerspace, the possibilities of learning with it are endless. Having volunteers…Read more

I visited CDMX back in January of this year and am already dying to go back! I think it’s one of my favorite places that I have traveled to as of late.

This is excellent news. How wonderful that the children’s section will be in a location where voices can be raised.

My eye also fell on your power of stories post, which I will read when I’m doing the grading. But I wanted to tell you I am so…Read more

The library needs support to expand their current location, but they cannot get a bond passed to help pay for the expansion, yet want the library to continue to provide all these services. I love the idea that your library will be able to offer all of…Read more

I’m super interested in intergenerational programming, too! I’m sure there are so many people, younger and older alike, who could benefit from these programs.

Hygge and Homicide: how fun! Hot chocolate and daggers! haha. That would have definitely intrigued me too. I completely see what you mean, that comfort of knowing that all will end well or as it “should”. It’s a bit like a Lifetime movie 🙂
High school can often be very chaotic, and I think it relaxes them. And it relaxes ME…Read more

Absolutely love it and could it be related to a groundbreaking television show that brought hockey to so many people this year? 🥅 🏒 🏳️‍🌈
