I love the fantasy genre. I love high fantasy that takes place in an entirely different world. I love, what I like to call, realistic fantasy, which takes place in the "real" world but has elements of magic to it. I love a good hero story I can get lost in. And if that hero…
Craft of the Month- March
Welcome to March! This month is a little different for our Craft of the Month blog and Take and Make, because it's not exactly a craft. Well, to be honest, it's not a craft at all! Instead, we're bringing back book subscription boxes! Last March, we doled these out in celebration of March is Reading…
Craft of the Month- February
It's February?! Why is it that this month feels the longest but is always the shortest? Perhaps it's the constant grey skies of Michigan winter keeping us down, so therefore, this month, let's put some green back in with our Teen Craft of the Month! For this month's Take and Make, we're making terrariums! Terrariums…
Make It February But With Vampires
Poor February. It gets a lot of hate being the romance month of the year. Some people love all the stuffed animals and chocolate and others want to burn it all
Craft of the Month- January
It's craft of the month! This month we're making our own miniature libraries using tin cases (think Altoids without the label on the top). I am really excited about this craft because not only is it easier than it seems but you can get super creative with how you want your miniature library to look…
Top YA Reads of 2021
It's a new year and that means it's time for the the best books of 2021! Every year I keep track of the YA books that get starred reviews and show up on "best of" lists from various sources. Some of these sources are typical for a librarian, such as Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus, which…
Comfort Watching
During the colder months of the year, I like to focus on comfort, coziness, and things that make me happy. And during this time of the year, one of my favorite happy things is watching my favorite Studio Ghibli movies. The magical creatures and whimsical adventures pull me into a world that feels similar to…
Craft of the Month- December
It's time for the craft of the month! For this month's Teen Take and Make, we're sewing something to keep you warm and cozy during the next few chilly months ; cotton flannel handwarmers in the shape of Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle! Your handwarmer will be microwave safe and perfect for those cold days…
Craft of the Month- November
It's the teen craft of the month! This month's take and make or in person craft is mini keychain bookmarks. This take and make was super popular this summer so we decided to bring it back just for you! We'll be using some soft faux leather for our book covers with fun designs and plain…
Comfort Reads
It's November! How did that happen?! I will say though, this time of year is my favorite. The smell of leaves, the cool nights, wrapping up in a blanket and falling asleep on the couch, then almost burning myself with hot apple cider because I fell asleep on the couch... Most Novembers, everyone is writing…
