SF Books That Didn’t Belong in the Kid’s Section of the Library

Friday Fun Link – @officialRPL Mother’s Day Video

This RPL Mother’s Day video is great! It makes me excited for RPL Father’s Day video next month where various dads who work for the system try not to get emotional while reading passages from “Fight Club” to our children. 😉   Just kidding – this video is great and I know I can’t get […]
