LibraryLaura: July 2015
http://librarylaura.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. What Pet Should I Get? Yesterday I did a program to celebrate the release of the new Dr. Seuss book, What Pet Should I Get? It was really fun! Over the winter, while I was home on disability, my colleague found out about the book's big release. During a phone conversation one day, she asked me if I'd like to do a program to celebrate it and, naturally, I said yes. And told them to make an animal. Whatever animal they wanted. As a sample, I'd made a cat, (side-note about ...Some ...

LibraryLaura: March 2015
http://librarylaura.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Discover Picture Book Art. Yesterday afternoon I missed out on yet another. Program that I enthusiastically planned out and was looking forward to doing. Yet, despite that, I'm feeling pretty good! I think I can finally see a light at the end of the disability tunnel. I've still got a few weeks to go, but the light is finally, a little bit, shining. I guess it was some time during my description of enthusiastically reusing garbage, when my colleague suggested taking it up a notch...

LibraryLaura: Super Hero Training Camp
http://librarylaura.blogspot.com/2015/07/super-hero-training-camp.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Super Hero Training Camp. This past Saturday, my coworker and I had our Super Hero Training Camp program and it was awesome. While it took a lot of planning, a lot of shopping, and a lot of setting up, it was totally worth it. And although the turnout was smaller than I'd have liked, the kids that did. Come had a great time. Plus, I think the smaller crew was easier to manage, since a program like this automatically riles everyone up. The certificates can be downloaded here!

LibraryLaura: May 2015

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Books n Play for Pre-K 5/27/15. I wasn't going to write about Books n Play for Pre-K again for a while but since every session is so different, I felt inspired today. Last week my theme was dinosaurs and it included digging for "fossils" in a sandbox, which was really fun! This afternoon the theme was food, which is a theme I've done before but haven't done often or in a long time. First, I read Hi, Pizza Man! By Eric Litwin and James Dean, which I guess isn't really that. Shout ...

LibraryLaura: Recommended Storytime Books by Topic
http://librarylaura.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
Recommended Storytime Books by Topic. I wanted to keep a running list of the books I use (successfully) in storytimes. I'm definitely forgetting some, but I'll be adding to this list regularly. It's organized by topic, so hopefully librarians (including me! Will be able to use it as a quick reference when it's time start when planning a storytime. This will be a forever-ongoing list. B = Recommended for babies. P = Recommended for pre-schoolers. S = Recommended for school-age kids. Brett, Jan - The Mitten.

LibraryLaura: August 2015
http://librarylaura.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Had my Aussie Taste-Test. Originally scheduled to be an Australia Party for Australia Day (January 26), then rescheduled due to snow for February 17, and then cancelled completely because of my car accident, this program was a long time coming. In the early planning stages of the original January 26th program, I ordered a massive quantity of Australian goodies from Aussie Food Shop. And stuck it in the schedule for August! And it really happened! Served on butter crackers).
