It was so good! I also just read “The Spellshop” by Sarah Beth Durst. It was a great cozy fantasy. I got my copy of The Wedding People off of Pangobooks for a pretty great price. It is one that I will keep since I enjoyed it so much.

I’ll have to check this one out also. Thank you! <3

This is a really cute presentation! Super cozy.
I really want to focus on the “appreciating libraries” slide. One of the biggest things that users say to me after attending a program is… “I didn’t know you guys offered this”. It is always astounding to me but also something that I brought up in my class with Professor Tunon. I think that users…[Read more] -

Hi!
I just want to say that this was a great post! It really shows how libraries have evolved to be more user friendly at least since I was a child. I remember going to the library with my grandmother, getting a book, and leaving.
I am going to expand on your reflection… before I became a library assistant, I was a teacher. It took me…[Read more] -

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 2 weeks agoIf you like dark humor, I recommend “The Wedding People” by Alison Espach. If you have ever doubted your existence, confidence in friendships/relationships, this was a great read. I binge read it in 1 sitting yesterday.

I’ve been wanting to read this book! My friend was telling me about it and how she was having trouble driving around town while listening to it, as she was so into the book she forgot to take the necessary turns to get where she was going. 😛

Assignment X: Participatory Services
For Assignment X, I decided to focus on Participatory Services. According to Linh Nguyen, a faculty member of Science and Engineering, “a p […]-
Hi Carlee!
Your experience with children really shines through. I can just tell you put a lot of love and effort in engaging with the community and creating thoughtful programs. It’s so wonderful to see how you adapted based on user feedback, allowing for more participatory service, as well the inclusion of both accessibility and inclusivity shows a genuine commitment to the community. The point you made about using social media and technology to connect is huge. Being able to connect with them in other ways aside from in-person can enhance the library experience and even the participation of patrons. This really does serve as a reminder that user feedback and participation can help build the community and the library itself for the community. Thanks for sharing!

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 2 months, 3 weeks agoBack to say I am binging Criminal Minds as background television while I complete my assignments. In college this is what I did too. It is the only show that can be on in the background that isn’t distracting.
-
Hi Carlee,
I really relate to that impulse too. My favorite background-show is The Office since (for me) it’s very calming and relaxing (in spite of its theme song). But Criminal Minds works just as fine. Despite the scary beginnings, the rest of the episodes are quite predictable and serene.

Oh yes! I am the library assistant where I work so I get it. We have very similar duties to the librarians – actually, as a matter of fact – the only difference is that I don’t hire people or manage my coworkers. I am okay with that though :). The skills definitely transfer to the public library world.

Yes! I work in Dover, Delaware which is essentially the heart of the state. We are lucky that we have a museum across the street (Biggs Museum of Art) that we work closely with. They attended our summer kickoff carnival in June and I work with them every summer to do the “Read & Make”. I read stories, they look at the art with the kids and wrap it…[Read more]

King is my favorite author of all time. The first book I read by him was Desperation and I was a young teen, about 14. It was in an airport bookstore. It immediately hooked me but now my favorite novel by him is 11/22/63. I also recently found a copy of Regulators by Richard Bachman (King’s pseudonym not sure if you knew that) which is the…[Read more]

@crlhayd My aunt game men her paperback of Salem’s Lot when I was 11! (I think I commented about that already…) I read it like mad and then read everything that came out all through the 80s and 90s. The Stand was incredible.

Which short stories are you reading? I have Night Shift but my library hold of Everything’s Eventual just came in… I think I am going to start with 1408.

I am currently reading You Like it Darker & Skeleton Crew! Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream in You Like it Darker was soooo good.

Yes! Holly Jackson has a lot of quick read YA thrillers. Kill Joy is the prequel, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Good Girl/ Bad Blood, and As Good As Dead. I usually prefer to watch and then read because I am most of the time disappointed by movie/tv adaptations ha ha…
Thanks for the heads up! I will try to get my hands on a copy too.-
@crlhayd I hope they hurry and do the next book with the same cast!

I am also watching (but not binging! I wish) A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. I think I may pause and read the book as I own it… but it is on my massive TBR.
-
@crlhayd I did not realize it was a series of books! I hope they make another season.
Also – thanks for the Fleetwood Mac message… I am a huge fan. I love that newest Rumpoirs live show they put out. Eagerly awaiting the Mirage Live CD on Sept. 20.

@crlhayd thank you for detailing all of your practical experiences in the library setting and in your previous work environments. I so appreciate your thoughts on outreach and I agree with you that it is incredibly important in our field. You are getting super valuable experience as you move through the program.
I definitely agree. I am very lucky to be in a position where I am gaining experience in my chosen field every day.
