The Chucky movies are so good! Especially Bride and Seed. I’ve been meaning to watch the show for forever now but I keep forgetting to add it to my watchlist.

Hi Carly,
I’m definitely a fan of 80’s horror too, especially ones like Killer Klowns from Outer Space or the Creepshow series! Both of the movies I recommended are on the campier side if he enjoys that kind of thing.
Also great question because I forgot to put it in the post but the visual and the drawings are all a template from Canva made…[Read more]

Hey Alana,
I will definitely check that out; I didn’t know we had that!
The program was originally intended for ages 10-18 but our players currently range from 2nd to 6th grade (mostly 4th graders). Ideally if this maintains well we’d also like to start an adult version.

Hello INFO 287!
This was made using the Blue and Orange Retro How to Find Happiness Poster template by Firstyline on Canva.-
Hi Cassie,
This is a great visual. You are definitely talented. My husband is a huge horror fan, too. His tastes run toward the 1980’s but I will recommend those titles to him.Sorry if this is an obtuse question but I ask because they are so cute. Did you draw/design the creatures or were the open source?
Have a great week,
Carly-

Killer Klowns and Creepshow are so great! Big horror fan too. I loved all the Chuckie movies and have just started the TV show which is a lot of fun.

Cassie,
I just remembered to share these titles with my husband. He immediately wrote them down. Thanks again,

Hi Cassie,
Love seeing your blog as an infographic style. Canva is a great tool! If you haven’t already, especially if you have a free Canva account, you may want to check out Adobe Express, as we have paid accounts through SJSU. It’s a very similar interface to Canva.
The D&D program sounds amazing. It’s always nice to be able to bring your personal passions to library work. What age group is the program aimed for?

My Favorite Podcast 3 weeks, 4 days agoI think MBMBAM is the one podcast I can keep up regularly with. I recently got back into Welcome to Night Vale, relistened to The Magnus Archives, and restarted The Adventure Zone. I also got into Cerebro recently despite never reading any comic books or watching any X-Men media.

I love Dropout!! But I’ve completely fallen behind in all the series except for what they post on TikTok and Youtube 🙁

There’s a lot to catch up on but the highlights they share are always great. I love that the cast and creative team all seem to genuinely appreciate and support each other. I guess it’s that improv energy.

Break the Ice: Binge-Worthy 3 weeks, 4 days agoI’ve been binging a lot of stuff in the past few months, mostly movies (I’m absolutely obsessed with Challengers) and K-dramas (Jugglers and King the Land particularly stand out). But I recently finished binging the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone podcast. I tend to binge horror movies but I’ve been slacking lately.

After taking teen services last fall, I really appreciated reading your post and how hyperlinked communities impact this age group in particular. You made me think what you meant by fight for compassion” as a driving force behind library services, and how I see compassion manifesting in my work as a librarian.
Thank you for this reflection! It was timely for me to read. I brought my teen into our local library’s teen space for the first time last week, and she ultimately felt uncomfortable there even though we were so excited to visit. I’ve been reflecting on it since. There were many “right ingredients” in the space, but something wasn’t clicking overall. It was SO quiet. No one spoke to her, but they watched her. She’s shy about her reading choices (so the quiet + watching her was eeek). It was a challenge to browse by genre. We will work on articulating the experience so we can share feedback so they’re aware of some of the feelings and fears teens may have while browsing.
@grimaries I totally agree that listening is a key component of how we make change. I also appreciate your focus on listening to staff as well and that’s something that Michael Casey and I really tried to promote in all the writing we did back in the day.
