Just in case you’ve noticed a lack of post or tweets in the past couple of weeks, I wanted to go ahead and post a quick announcement: I’ve accepted a new job at a new library!
I’ve been at my new position for a week today and everything is going swimmingly. I’m very happy to be there and excited to work with my new patrons, co-workers, and community.
For you, dear blog readers, that means a plethora of clean-up posts from my previous library. (Seriously, I have the whole Summer 2013 storytime session to post and all of Winter 2014 and seven months of Pajama Storytimes that you’ve never seen and four months of Explore the World and a ridiculous amount of Flannel Fridays. And outreach visits and special programs, yikes! Also, I found even more Growing Readers pictures/literacy activities that never went up. And a few Picture Book City posts to do too.)
That also means the start of a new storytime series that I’m calling “Storytime Essentials” — my most favorite storytime activities, hopefully complete with some video performances so that my old co-workers can learn from me even though I’ve changed libraries.
And, once I get myself settled, a ton of brand-new storytime plans and early literacy amazingness. My first tasks include doing Toddler Storytime during the spring session and working to add new activities to our early literacy/family space.
So, please be patient as I work on getting everything out! Thank you for reading!
