The Liminal Librarian

Spent the last week in Spokane, Washington visiting family and pondering just why it is again that I live in the oh-so-flat-and-humid Midwest. (And yes, there really IS a Spokandy store!)

I also got the chance to visit a little branch library and attend one of the best storytimes I've ever seen -- it met with the enthusiastic approval of my 4.5 year old reviewer, as well. While the resources of my own local public library are fantastic, I have an eternal soft spot for these small branches. This one was both welcoming and an integral part of its neighborhood; it was bustling on both of our visits, and 16 kids attended storytime during a holiday off-week -- which is more than most of the ones we've dropped by in the Chicago area can boast.
