Wiki Wiki
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: January 22, 2009
Just a quick update from a continuing ed. workshop here at SEMLS. I’m at our regional library system’s office learning all about the joys of wikis and dreaming up ways that I could incorporate a wiki into the TPL’s website. Right now, we’re experiencing technical difficulties with the presentation and are on a [...]
I am Ironman!

Hi, my name is Kate and I love superhero movies. I love them. I never read comic books as a kid and I’m not really that into graphic novels. But I can’t get enough of superhero movies. I’m so psyched that Marvel Comics has developed their own movie studio and produced [...]
Fancy February
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: January 15, 2009
Well, the last time that I wrote (and it was an embarrassingly long time ago!), I said I was going to write more. You can see how quickly that has fallen by the wayside. but it’s 2009 and I’m back and hoping to be better than ever. A
At the moment, I’m busy planning our February [...]
What I’m reading
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: August 8, 2008
Most of you know that librarians (unfortunately) do not simply sit around and read while we’re working at the library. That would pretty much make it the best job ever, but I don’t think our patrons would be too happy with us! Anyway, like most librarians, I do LOVE to read and try [...]
Funny meeting you here…
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: August 1, 2008
So it’s been a really long time since I’ve updated this blog! Summer reading has taken over, along with other happy events in my personal life. Things are busier than ever here at the library, and while we’ve enjoyed our summer, I think everyone on staff will breathe a sigh of relief when school begins [...]
Ode to the Paper Plate Craft
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: March 12, 2008
Another successful story/craft hour has come and gone. This week, we read stories about dinosaurs!! And it was a hit. As one little boy put it, “ROOOOOAAAR!”.
Parents were amazed by the our paper plate dinosaur craft which, in turn, amazed me! Paper plate crafts are as old as the day is [...]
More Errol Flynn (like you can ever get enough Errol Flynn)
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: March 12, 2008
So, in my home life, I’m a big movie buff. Patrick and I are obsessed with Netflix and we’re on a huge Errol Flynn kick right now. I might have mentioned that before…
Anyway, we just watched Dodge City starring EF and Olivia De Havilland (with whom he starred in 8 films total). [...]
Tech-roots

For those of you who are fascinated by technology and technology in libraries, take a look at one librarian’s journey into the modern world over at The Game’s Afoot. Daisy, our intrepid Assistant Director, hated anything to do with technology because she feared it! Now she’s conquered her fear of computers and [...]
More Story Time Fun
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: March 5, 2008
Well, this is the second week of my story/craft program and we’ve got a great group of kids this time around. Today’s theme was (appropriately) rain and puddles! I love puddle books and read two of my favs, The Rain Puddle by Adelaide Holl and The Puddle by David McPhail. The [...]
Summer Reading Denial
Posted by: notesfromtheblacklagoon on: February 28, 2008
Here at the TPL, I’ve gotten the spring programming pretty much tied up. I’m all up to date on my reviews. I have a few things left to catalog. The shelves are beautiful and the book carts are bare. In other words, I have to face my denial over the summer [...]
