Welcome to Litsy!

Wore the baby boy out so now it is mommy time. Pulled this off my TBR pile and am looking forward to diving in while he naps. #libraryladyland #readyourshelf #tbr #therulesofmagic

When your middle school readers tell you they are having a hard time finding books that interest them and you offer to pull "a few" books to talk about with their ELA class. #libraryladyland #ilovemystudents

Cataloging books at home on a Friday night so my library helpers can put new titles in the shelves next week. This librarian clearly knows how to party on a Friday night! Wouldn't have it any other way. ❤️ #libraryladyland #ilovemyjob❤️

Finally finished my recycled book project. A mobile for Will's nursery out of Dr. Seuss books! #recycledart #decoratingthenursery #libraryladyland #babykoct2017

The library lady ripping up books?!?! It can't be!!!! Don't worry these well worn and well loved books are being repurposed into nursery decor for Will instead of going to the trash heap. The bestie and I could never let good books go to waste! #libraryladyland #repurposed #recycledart

Flu recovery is slow when you are preggo. Managed to make it outside for breakfast and some reading though. Checking out this book to see if it might be suitable for some of my YA readers at school. Teenage spies sent to get close to a girl destined for great power. Who will she choose? What happens if they fall in love? Ah...the life of a middle school librarian... #yesthisiswork #libraryladyland #flurecoverymode

My dad still spoils me. Check out my awesome new Library Lady shoes. Thanks, dad! I love them! #libraryladyland #petethecatilovemywhiteshoes #bookishgifts #dadsanddaughters #schoollibrarian

Spending the day cataloging books for my little learners. Can't wait to show this to one of my Kindergarteners this Monday. He dressed up as a shark for favorite book character and can name several different types if you let him jabber on. I love my job! #libraryladyland

I meet with my 4th grade enrichment group tomorrow so I better catch up on my reading for our novel study. I love talking books with my students! #libraryladyland #ilovemyjob

Conversation with an 8th grade boy this morning. "Mrs. Kennedy!" "Hey, sweetie, how are you?" "I've got something for you! "Really? What is it?" "I got inspired this weekend and...well here...I want you to read it first." "You wrote a story?! That's great!" "Will you read it?" "Oh my goodness, yes! I can't wait!" Current status: honored to be reading a future comic book author's work with a full heart. #libraryladyland
