The last Saturday I worked, a mom left her 8 or 9 year-old son at a kids' Internet station while she went to look at books. Not a big deal, at least he wasn't 3 and she was only going across the room. But she told him to holler if he needed a

Last year I wrote about this little cutie who wanted "more songs!" at one of the Places Where No-One Listens. But yesterday, I got this:Me: Let's sing one more song, how about The Eensy Weensy Spider?Girl (in her tiny, high voice):

Me: What other animal should Old MacDonald have on his farm?Little boy: A train!So we choo-choo'd here and there. Afterwards, when I was doing my usual "come and see us at the library" bit (this was at a Place Where No-One Listens)

Today after story-snacktime a little guy fed me a cracker. He had given me one and then, as I was talking to his mom, he shoved another right into my mouth. He then insisted on giving one to a nearby mom, despite her "No, you eat it, it's yo

We had an author visit us yesterday and I'd invited a couple of school classes to hear her speak. When it came time for questions, one girl asked:Girl: Do you live in like a big, fancy house and have lots of slaves and stuff?Author

At our after school reading program, we have word and other learning games for the kids to play, many of them card games. We had a set of Old Maid cards and when we got some new, what I thought were cooler games, I took it out of the game box to make

I wonder where the other people live?

I have a cutie who's becoming an amusing storytime regular. He's 4 or 5 and he's VERY chatty. He chatters all the way through storytime, in fact. But today as he was putting on his coat, he overheard a mom ask a toddler what her name

Another cutie

I almost have to stop calling the drop-in centres the Places Where No-One Listens. I've got 2 out of the 3 pretty well trained. On Thursday I did a Christmas themed storytime at the smallest one and I finished off with Twinkle Twinkle, as usual.

It's nice to be awesome

Last night a boy was looking through our paperbacks and he kept up a running commentary about how much he loved the books for about 10 minutes. Comments included"These books are awesome! This is the best day of my life, ever!""I l
