Overheard in Media Center de Superfluous

By -

Student: Library Lady, can you help me find a book?

Me: Sure, what book are you looking for?

Student: I'm looking for a book series about girls.

Me: Have you ever heard of the Baby Sitter's Club?

Student: No, what's it about?

Me: Oh are you in for treat! It's about these really cool girls who start a babysitting club and have all sorts of adventures and lots of cute boyfriends.

Student: Cool!


Next book series recommendation: Sweet Valley High!

EEEEEK! I read every single one as fast as I could get back to my library when I was growing up. Aaaaahh; what terrific memories you brought back. The different handwriting from each sitter, the secret passage at Dawn's how Mary Ann wasn't allowed to say Yeah, OMG(oodness) I got ahead of myself there for a minute. Ahem. Thank you! Blessings, Whitney

I totally read every edition of The BSC series (including the ones where they were camp counselors and went on the cruise). I also totally loved BS Little Sister series... how awesome were those?

I'm so stoked that those are still in circulation and being recommended. I think I saw that Ann Martin still writes, she has a new series now, right?

I loved the babysitters club growing up. And I would sneak reading sweet valley high - my mom didn't approve. Good recommendations.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
