Seven years ago, the mother of a young patron at the branch I was working at asked if her son could meet with me to learn more about being a librarian. We set a date to meet, had a great conversation and I thought that was the end of it. So I was surprised when […]
Sasha went to a recently opened trampoline park with a bunch of friends for her birthday… Pace did his driver’s exam (didn’t make it but examiner said he did he really well and it was mostly mistakes due to nerves that caused him to fail which is apparently the case with 3/4 of first-time drivers […]
