When I started this blog in 2014 I thought it was such a great idea to keep up with story times and also share what I am doing in my library with others. I know that I couldn't do my job without Storytime Underground, Pinterest, and the many blogs that I frequent for ideas, inspiration, and problem solving.
And then life happened... We decided to build a house and have a baby. At work I was promoted to Branch Manager on top of my Youth Services positions and had a lot of turnover at my branch that left me barely surviving for months.
Now I have survived my busiest Summer Reading Program to date, work with an amazing staff that really love the library, and have split Youth Services so that I can focus on children ages 0-12.
I hope to be able to post my weekly themed story time outlines as well as reviews for books for children ages 0-12 and show the evolution of my various library programs as they grow. I currently have a great small afterschool club, a growing preschool outreach program, and 3 awesome weekly story times. I am hoping to add a once-a-month nighttime storytime for all ages, a homeschool book club, and an afterschool outreach collaboration. I look forward to sharing what we are doing at my library and hope that this blog can be a source of ideas and inspiration for a few along the way.
Upward and Onward!
