cats, dinosaurs, & sci-fi! Oh my!

Ray Bradbury is one of my all time favorite authors!
Here he talks about his love of books, libraries, and literary influences.

Just thought I would share...

Today I was at my local public library. I was in the children's section looking for concept books for one of my other LT classes. I found it very interesting that there were not many kids in the area at all. I live in a very busy town, and it truly shocked me that there were not more children looking in books in the section. I figured on a Saturday that there would be more kids at the library. When I was a little kid, my mom used to take me to the library at least once a week. I LOVED it, and I can say that that is probably where my early love for literature began. My fear is that the children of today are not being exposed to books the same way we were as children. Have any of you other Librarian wannabees noticed a downturn in children's interest in books and reading??

This is my favorite author giving an interview.

Cool New Stuff!!

I like it, you guys. The quote area, the what we're reading, the librarians in film, the archive thing, all of it.

Hello Geeks!

I've changed the blog archive format and added an area for quotes. I was thinking about moving where it appears. Any feedback?

Hope you like it!

I added a "Recommended Reads" section to our Blog! I hope that you check out some of the titles in the list, I think you would enjoy them!

Hi, everyone. I've added a gadget to the right: an updating link showing the three most recent posts on the Palomar library blog. This is something that could be used to link to any news website or blog that has an RSS feed, whatever would be useful or interesting.

Libraries in Film

I don't know about anyone else... but I get nerdily excited anytime I see a library or librarian character in a movie. Here is one of my favorites!

MOVIE LIBRARIANS: NOTABLE LIBRARIANS & LIBRARIES IN FILMS

I also added the "what we're reading" section!

Hi everyone,  I hope you like the new background I changed for our blog.  I found so many choices but this design went well with our new purple color that Colette added.

Hi, Ms. Morrow.
I did it. I changed something on the template. "Book Geeks" is now on a lovely lavender background instead of a boring beige one.
