Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Saturday Snap – Thank You Card

I’ve had colleagues who say that when you work for a public library, you really work for your colleagues, your clients and your community. Never feels more true when I come into find a giant thank-you card signed by a bunch of the kids I interacted with at a recent school visit.
