Welcome!

Hello Fellow Librarians and Book Lovers!

My name is Megan (she/her) and I've been wanting to start this blog for quite a while. As we were taught in Kindergarten, sharing is caring. So with that in mind, this blog will contain resources, usually book lists for displays, to help you do awesome things for your community a little easier.

Before getting started though, a little about me!

As I said, my name is Megan, I'm 28, and I am currently a part-time reference librarian at a public library outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I graduated with my MLIS (Masters of Library and Information Science) at UW-Milwaukee in May 2020. While in school, I was an adult/teen services intern at a different library outside of Milwaukee. Before becoming a librarian, I was a teacher. I have taught most grades in some capacity, but enjoyed teaching English the most (obviously). I have a beautiful and fluffy cat named Harper (she/her) and enjoy spending time cuddling with her while reading or streaming something. Outside of the pandemic, I love to travel and have been to 13 different countries around the world! I'm a huge Disney fan and hope to someday go to every Disney park around the world (only Hong Kong and Shanghai left to go!) I love learning and go to as many conferences as I can. 

What can you expect from this blog?

Well, hopefully resources to help you in your professional career. I plan on doing at least once weekly book displays ready for you to use. This will include a list of title based on a theme and a sign to post with it. I don't plan on putting a watermark on anything as long as you all do the right thing and use it, not sell it. I may also share my thoughts on current library events or things I have learned through my experiences and at conferences. Book reviews may also become a norm. Mainly, I want this to be useful to YOU! So please tell me what you want to see or what I can do to make this blog more beneficial to you.

I hope this becomes a helpful resource to you and can make your job a little easier. Thank you for all that you do and thanks for joining me on this little adventure!
