This post is serving as a placeholder for the Thrive Thursday round-up on 1/8.
Library friends, please comment away with the links to your school-aged programming and ideas.
If you have any trouble at all, just email your submissions to me: brytanifraser at gmail dot com.
If you’re just hearing about Thrive Thursday, let me just tell you, it’s amazing. Think a bunch of best friends, hanging out way past our bed times, possibly drinking but also possibly just laughing our heads off over chocolate and re-runs of Parks and Rec. Oh, that’s all in my head? Fine, fine. Every month library people share ideas for school-aged programs and/or issues relating to serving this age group. Go here for some details: http://thrivethursday.wordpress.com/
Oh and…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I break from mid-December to after the New Year, but I did do a Gingerbread Storytime earlier in December that went really well http://inshortbusy.blogspot.com/2014/12/gingerbread-man-storytime.html and of course we have winter reading running right now! http://inshortbusy.blogspot.com/2014/12/paws-to-read-winter-reading-program-2014.html
