What's New?
On
St. Patrick's Day, Kimberly Bolan Cullin, of Kimberly Bolan and Associates put some of my ideas on video production on a budget
for teen and children's spaces.
Kim's company does design consulting for Teen and Children's spaces,
and is the author of two books available from the ALA on this topic.
Check out her blog at: http://indielibrarian.blogspot.com
As this is the first edition of my homepage/blog, please be
sure and check out the photos of my two cow-kitties, Eve and Ella. They are sisters, and each has a heart-shaped spot on
her right side when sitting. These same hearts actually look like the "person reading a book" sign that is in front of your
public library! How cool is that?

So how did I choose to become a Youth and Children's Librarian? It was easy! I work at a large chain bookstore, and
I read Mr. Kent's Storytime every week to "my kids". I absolutely fell in love with watching their eyes light up as I became
the pirate captain, the baby raccoon, the imposing frog, or the small boy in the story.
The kids
are great, and I love performing for them! Get them involved, use different voices to fit the characters, and have fun! I
am working on learning storytelling techniques so I can act more and have an even better time!
I
am also a big fan of technology bringing teens into the library and finding that one thing that captivates them. bringing
out the child still inside.
I also have an unnatural interest in untraditional uses for RFID in libraries.
I have a couple projects I'm working on in this area, which I hope to have finished in a year (with a bit of help from some
friendly RFID manufacturer - hint, hint), and hope to show as part of my master's thesis.
Hope to see you all at the ALA this summer! I'm looking forward to a fantastic event!
If you
also have an unnatural need to play with RFID, contact me!
