Something Fun

2007-05-17T09:15:00.000-05:00

In the spirit of spring, light heartedness and blogs - here's something fun. Of course, what is fun, can also be controversial - so this is perfect for a library blog. And, after all, aren't we all patriots? So without further delay, here's a video link with narration by one of my all-time favorite actors: http://sagebrushpatriot.com/america.htm.

Summer Reading 2007

2007-05-16T12:13:00.000-05:00

Get a Clue @ your library is the 2007 Summer Reading Theme. We'd love to hear how things are going and what you've got planned. The blog would be a great place to ask questions, and to share specifics about your summer program (like dates, special events, programs, attendance numbers, what's working, what's not, etc.) It provides the opportunity for others to chime in, and acts as an archive of what is shared, so we can look back for things we may have missed or need reminded of. Feel free to visit as often as you like, or provide a clue for others to solve:

What Are You Afraid Of?

2007-04-24T14:08:00.000-05:00

One of the books on the Summer Reading List by Sally Snyder (Nebraska Library Commission) for Young Adults is a collection of short stories - What Are You Afraid Of? Edited by Gallo. It's a collection of short stories, fictional stories, on youth phobias. One of my feelings after reading was sadness that the teens seemed to be so alone in dealing with their phobias - and hesitated to reach out to others for help.
