When I was a kid, the cartoon “Battle of the Planets” was a huge deal for me and my friends. One of the many cool things about the show was that “the G-Force members stay in contact through a wrist-band communicator device.” In grade one, I still remember how I convinced a bunch of my […]

As I have on this blog every year since 2007, I’m planning a week-long series of posts relating to the unofficial Haunakah (er, or week-long holiday of your choice) for librarians everywhere – Freedom to Read Week!
