Super-Mobile Race Track | The Neighborhood Librarian

Life as a Small-town Literacy Sherpa. Photo Journal of a Summer Day. Life-Sized Plants vs. Zombies →. Have you all seen Lisa Mulvenna’s Car Day. So here’s what you need:. Either masking tape or painter’s tape. For decorating, I put out lots of sheets of colored paper (found unused in office) for covering boxes, markers, crayons, duct tape for making stripes, glue bottles, paper plates for wheels, and brads for putting them on. Overall, it was great fun. My bigger branch had no problems at all and the...

Brytani | The Neighborhood Librarian

https://librarianneighbor.wordpress.com/author/brytanifraser

Life as a Small-town Literacy Sherpa. Part One: My Día de los Niños Experience. So when Día offered mini-grants to celebrate their 20th anniversary, I went for it. My library system has never celebrated Día de los Niños before this year, and in fact, we’ve really only ever done one other big program targeting Latino families. I wanted to see us step up and show our commitment to this community by investing in a festival to blow everyone’s minds. Want is not the best way to go. When it comes to storytime,...

Life as a Small-town Literacy Sherpa. Newer posts →. Totes and Quotes: a craft to go with any book club. This year, our library system participated in the Big Read and our county-wide book selection was To Kill a Mockingbird. We end the program this week and with a wide variety of programs ranging from a jazz concert to movie and documentary showings, we’ve had some great participation from our patrons and communities. I hosted three programs at my two branches:. A showing of the documentary. Printed ima...

Life-Sized Plants vs. Zombies | The Neighborhood Librarian

https://librarianneighbor.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/life-sized-plants-vs-zombies

Life as a Small-town Literacy Sherpa. Life-Sized Plants vs. Zombies. Life-Sized Plants vs. Zombies. So here’s the layout of the room. Step one: Set up the playing area. You need three rows on each side. The back row is for your catapults, the middle is for offense, and the front is for defense. I used painter’s tape to make my rows. I made some catapults by taping ladles to yard sticks. Jealous? The offensive line did nothing but throw and kick balls to the other side. Two: Also make it known that when y...

Life as a Small-town Literacy Sherpa. Life-Sized Plants vs. Zombies. Baby Storytimes for the Baby-Impaired →. This has to be my favorite program so far this year! Here’s what I used:. My husband as a volunteer to help me set-up. I really do think you need two people. With both of us working on it, it took 3 hours. 35 6 ft. sections of pipe insulation, which cost $1 each. Painter’s tape to hold it down. 7 Little buckets from the dollar store. 6 kickboards, also from the dollar store. Stark Tower (my fav!

Life as a Small-town Literacy Sherpa. Baby Storytimes for the Baby-Impaired. Thrive Thursday Placeholder- 9/3 →. The Librarian’s Mantra. It did not go well. I didn’t come. Close to dying, but I had some bruises and absolutely no gratitude from the boy’ s mother who informed mine that I almost drowned her son. (For the record, all other witnesses concur, he was in deep trouble until I managed to pull him to the rope.). Photo Credit: Payton Chung. Today I will feel all that I feel. And I will feel calm.
