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 of waterlogged 2-3 [...]
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 else [...]
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 factual [...]
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 bit [...]
Family Story Time: A lesson in not being cool
Filed in Programs, story time, July 15, 2008, 2:12 pm by mmgarzaSince one of the Children’s part-time library assistants has left (sniff sniff) I’ve taken over a second story time every other week. This week I was too stressed out to come up with an ingenious theme combination for the second story time. So I threw together some funny books that didn’t fit in with any [...]
Family Fun-Day Monday Week 1… Funny Foods. I can haz out in the open?
Filed in Programs, story time, July 8, 2008, 2:26 pm by mmgarzaMy very first story time that I have created… planned… and will do for longer than 15 minutes! Hooray! I was really really nervous. This is also Angus Glen’s very first “out in the open” story time ever.
Good thing it went much better than expected!
The kids were incredibly cute. I’ve found that small [...]
Summer Reading Club… LMAO.
Filed in Summer Reading Club, libraries, June 4, 2008, 8:24 pm by mmgarzaThe theme for the TD Summer Reading Club this year is Laugh Out Loud (LOL) / Lire aux Larmes. I guess in French it would be LauxL, haha So for I have some dumb ideas, which are just cheesy enough to work… I’m going to put smiley faces on the wall with the kids [...]
