  • Zines continued

    We are having an event at the library today to make zines and I’m hoping lots of people will show up (cross your fingers!!). I’ve looked at zine making in the past, but only saw the folded paper way to make zines. I wasn’t thrilled about it because I sometimes am a bit of a…

  • The Library Book

    At first, I thought the catalog must be wrong.  Hadn’t I diligently checked and rechecked every single entry?  I knew the library was used all day every day and I had spent months, years even to make sure all the books, audiobooks, DVDs, that everything was entered correctly.  But now, there was an unexplained addition…

  • Night Shift

    “I don’t know why anyone – or I guess how anyone – can work the night shift.  How can a boss expect me to wear pants until 9 PM?”  Angela complained the entire way out of the library and I began to wonder how she had even been hired in the first place.  Nothing she…

  • The Swing

    “He said he had work to do,” my mother said.  “Why do you ask so many questions?”  I sighed and headed back to my room.  All I had wanted to know was when my brother was getting home.  He had promised to take me to the zoo today and I had been looking forward to…

  • Miss Smith

    PHOTO PROMPT © Ted Strutz The library was the only place I ever felt safe. The only place I could check out as many books as I could carry. My parents never kept eyes on me after school so the public library became my stomping ground. Miss Smith came to be one of my most…
