Librarian Shower Thoughts

Profound thoughts seems to abound when I'm shampooing my hair in the shower.

  • Overdue and Overude are just a typo apart. Coincidence?
  • Why is the noisy teen kicked out, but the rude adult is not?
  • What is it about the full moon and all the most eccentric patrons coinciding?
  • Why do the people who think they know it all, actually know so little?
  • If patrons had to turn in their phones to check out a book, the library would never have overdues.
  • Cleaning out the junk patrons donate in books is like an archaeologist dig.

Copcake Day

Well, after years of wishing I have finally had my very first Copcake Day for teens. My long-term plans is that this will be an annual event and with the impressive turnout I think that is definitely a possibility (by far this was our largest attendance of the year).

And it was also by far our most delicious program.

BookGeek1 has been a bad blogger

Many apologies for not posting much over the past few months. I always have the best of intentions (as well as a schedule of topics I want to share), but sometimes things happen and time gets away from us.

On that note, Mr. BookGeek1 and I are excited to announce a new addition will be joining us later this year!


Morning sickness can take down even the strongest of us!

That being said, I'll try to get back on track with routine posting. And I have so many things to share!!!

But....YAY BABY!

This Summer's Headband

Typically I love making my summer headband out of felt (and I may still make one...I've been pondering a hammer), but I went slightly off-the-beaten-path this year.

Bear with me....

Our summer's theme being "Build a Better World" and I had this lying around, so.....



That's right. It is merely a traffic cone hot glued to a headband. Note: wider headband would probably offer much better stability.

Here is my lovely assistant demonstrating the sheer beauty of this magnificent sight.


If you are hesitant, just remember that kids love it when you look silly! So throw a cone on your head or make a caution tape tie/scarf (idea?!), but just make it goofy.
