Pre-Party Library Day in the Life #5: THE WEEKEND.
Filed in Library Day in the Life,libraries, July 26, 2010, 1:44 pm by mmgarzaToday is technically the first day of Library Day in the Life Round 5. But, since I’ve already been at work for two days, I thought I’d fill the Internet in on my “Monday” and “Tuesday.” Also, this provides a good explanation for my unintelligible blogs and tweets towards Thursday and Friday of this week. [...]
The Library Your Library Could Smell Like.
Filed in libraries, July 16, 2010, 2:40 am by mmgarzaI’m sure we all know about the Old Spice Guy “Man your man could smell like” commercial. After all – it’s one of the best ad campaigns ever, resulting in hundreds of kazillions of internet dollars and serious lulz. (Did I just say that? Yes, I did.) Recently, the campaign (look – I’m referring to [...]
Happy Mother’s Day Garza 1.0!
Filed in Programs,Uncategorized, May 9, 2010, 6:34 pm by mmgarzaThis Mother’s Day, I wanted to thank my mom, Lynne, for encouraging me to enter this profession in the most public way possible. She’s a totally amazing librarian herself and has been in public and private libraries for probably more years than she’d care for me to share on the internet. She originally went into [...]
Library Day in the Life Monday: Blergh.
Filed in Book Reviews,Uncategorized, January 26, 2010, 4:18 am by mmgarzaToday I woke up and looked at ye olde Twitter feed and what should happen to appear? The announcement that Round 4 of Library Day in the Life is starting! Ahem: “Yippee-skippee!” as they say. So, fellow librarians and students of information science: tag yer blogs w/ librarydayinthelife or use the hash tag #libday4 on [...]
Library Day in the Life – Wednesday: In which I am clobbered.
Filed in Uncategorized, July 29, 2009, 11:30 pm by mmgarzaThis day was brought to you by the letter <scream>. 9:00 a.m.: Mercifully short atrium meeting followed by the realization that there the only two people scheduled this morning, (as far as info staff goes), are Catherine and myself. 9:30 a.m.: Library opens x . x <- the emoticon for f#@$ed. 10:06 a.m.: A group [...]
I’m on the Intertubes… Sort of.
Filed in Uncategorized, April 22, 2009, 11:39 pm by mmgarzaSomeone made a video of (part of) my Baby Goose story time, and now I’m famous! Let the internet dollars start rolling in! Well, you can’t really see me through the sea of infants, but I’m there, holding my stuffed baby-placebo monkey and singing. The songs are “Here We Go Up, Up, Up!” (good activity [...]
When in Doubt…
Filed in Book Reviews,Programs,story time, January 28, 2009, 1:13 am by mmgarzaFor our “story time on demand” story times (the MPL “there’s a lot of kids here -better offer story time” initiative) I’m finding this book (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury) to be an absolute hit! I’m about to take it into Ontario Early Years circle time with [...]
Stats and stuff… a restatement of purpose.
Filed in blogs,libraries, December 2, 2008, 1:43 pm by mmgarzaHuh. I just saw my stats and people are looking at this much more than the big ole “O” that I had expected. Hurray! One of my original misgivings about blogging in general is that it seems sort of narcissistic to assume that I have anything more to say about a single topic than anyone [...]
JNF, WTF?
Filed in Collections, September 24, 2008, 5:54 pm by mmgarzaI got the go-ahead to do some sorely needed weeding on the Juvenile Non-Fiction Section (my first ever). To sidestip the issue of not wanting to throw anything out because of curriculum demand, I ordered a report done for items that haven’t circulated in 2 years or more. I’m finding a lot of picturebooks on [...]
Family Fun-Day Monday Week 3… Ooey Gooey… Librarian
Filed in Programs,story time, July 22, 2008, 11:05 pm by mmgarzaWeek 3 of this self-proclaimed lame named (haha fox in socks, sir) story time. This week’s theme was “Ooey Gooey.” The jury’s still out on whether or not the themes make it easier or harder for story time planning… this was kind of a strange theme, so maybe that was it. The program itself was [...]
