Textured Collage

Hello everyone! It sure has been a while. I’ve been on hiatus for a bit as life sort of got away from me there.  A lot has happened in the last few years; there’s been some ups and a heck of a lot of downs. I’m still here, surviving mostly on caffeine, spite and pure

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…

Hello and welcome to another fun filled storytime featuring ME the Not So Nice Librarian.

Adventures in Camping

It starts off slow, a few wispy clouds to the south. Then builds…. Soon  the sky has grown ominoysly dark. The wind picks up and thunder cracks the sky, shaking your very bones. An evening thunderstorm has arrived. Not uncommon at this time of year in Oklahoma. Just figures its my damn luck to be

I had never been to one of his workshops, but we do have a one of his books: Naked eggs and flying potatoes : unforgettable experiments that make science fun, that we used some experiments from last year during the Science themed

‘Things with Teeth’ Storytime
