Since I’m preparing to take a new job at a new library, I wrote about leaving my current library at the ALSC blog. It’s been a long, hard process but I know I’m leaving my job in the best shape I can.

This past week, I posted over at the ALSC blog about why you should go beyond storytime and do other preschool programming. It’s a topic I’m super passionate about, so please click on through and read why!

Yesterday, I posted over at the ALSC blog about an easy way to incorporate play in the library. Also, you can see a picture of part of my new library!

The eternal dilemma: when to schedule storytime. I don’t have any questions, but the comments at the ALSC blog may offer further insight!

Yesterday, I posted over at the ALSC blog about how to encourage early literacy practices at home by engaging parents after storytime has ended!

While I’ve posted a lot about Picture Book City here on Storytime Katie, I did a post at the ALSC blog all about the Spanish version of Picture Book City, now completed at my library!

Yesterday, I posted over at the ALSC blog about the books characters I’ve noticed growing from picture books to readers to chapter books. Click on through to leave your own suggestions!

I decided to lead everyone in some group therapy sessions about summer reading at the ALSC blog. If you feel the need to let it out — come join us.

Here’s another post of mine at the ALSC blog. This time I’m talking about storing board books and the new solution I have — cloth closet bins. The kids love singing the ABCs on these!
