Public good
Today I am writing about burnout. I read a great book about this last year and it offered some strategies for me for the past year. I’ve been reading much about labor shortages and people switching careers lately. Prior to the pandemic, I thought I would be content to be a children’s librarian for many…

Happy Star Wars Day
Our “Wookie under a Cookie” video was posted! It’s about 4 minutes of fun created for kids ages 2-4, but hopefully kids of all ages will enjoy it. May the force be with you.

Happy Beltane!
It’s that time of the year when the veils are thin between the Otherworlds and ours. Expect strange synchronicities, sudden coincidences, or unusual happenings. Maybe breakthrough communications?

The gift of no power
This morning was a gift wrapped in cold – a bubble of protection brought by power line work in the neighborhood. I believe it is important to have access to information – which is what drew me to field of work. And I believe it is important to protect each other. When others don’t believe…

A Cat Came into the Library
She was sitting in a stroller being pushed by a woman who insisted she was a service animal. She looked a bit like my cat with her tortoiseshell markings. The woman did not like me telling her that her mask needed to be worn properly (over her nose as well) if she wanted to remain…

Rage Rant
I seriously wanted to punch this man in the face. I will use him as my inspiration while I exercise tonight and I imagine punching him in the face. And kicking him in the groin.
