Go on and admit it ... if you could, you would TOTALLY have a baby dragon.  Right?  Right?

Especially like the "take a nap" part. :)

Young Adult Author Fan Fest

While attending ALA (you know, that fantastic librarian conference that had me all a twitter with joy ... the one where I got all of the FREE books that I brought home just for you guys?) I had the glorious opportunity to visit with a whole bunch of young adult authors!!

Do you see that guy in the middle?  I have HIS book and it is SIGNED!  (squeal of joy).  Yes, I'm a reading geek.  LOL.

Also, do you like the graphic novel series Zita the Spacegirl?  Well, the author has a new book coming out this year ...

5 1/2 weeks remaining

Oh, my!  There are only about five and a half weeks remaining before the 2016-2017 school year begins and I have to admit, I have NOT done my summer reading!  AHHHHH!!  I know -- horrible, isn't it?  So I have my work cut out for me ... I NEED to read and post about a few of the books I took home over this summer.  And I will!!  Yep!!  I sure will!!  Hmmm ... you do believe me , don't you?

Summer Fun!

 I may not have gotten to my summer reading list, but I have had TONS of fun these past months!!  In late June I attended the Denver ComicCon.  WHAT FUN!!  Not only did I get to Cosplay (oh, yes, we'll be talking a lot about Cosplay this next school year ... totally want to bring the fun to the library), but my pet dragon got to join in on the fun as well!!

 And because he was getting a little lonely, I found him an adorable friend.

 Ain't he just the cutest thing ever?  :)

STOP THE PRESS!!

 I am coming back with TONS and TONS and TONS of books from the annual ALA conference (that's a fancy librarian conference I was able to go to this summer)!  The conference was AMAZING!! Not only did I get to gather all of these FREE books for YOU, our wonderful scholars at Skinner Middle School, but I also got to meet a whole bunch of young adult authors, listen to a variety of librarians talks about FUN and EXCITING things WE can do in the library this upcoming school year, and did I mention I got to gather all of these FREE books just for YOU????

AND, after I review the book ... they are going to be used as PRIZES for YOU!!!  Yep!!  Throughout next year the library will host SEVERAL fun contests and YOU will be able to win FAME!  GLORY!  CANDY!  PRIZES!  and FREE BOOKS!  Wahoo!!!!
