A planned lunchtime blog post was happily interrupted by an invitation to dine at a local pizza parlor; one pepperoni pizza with extra cheese later with library cheer and gossip later and my lunch hour had expired. The remainder of my afternoon consisted of what could be classified as the old gigo theory. Instead of garbage in, garbage out, I was effectively reminded when I order materials and supplies for the resource center I have to put them away when they arrive (especially when there are no student workers in residence). It takes time to put away boxes of poster board, construction paper, and cases of copy paper.This evening's post is a welcome respite from laboring over my 125 word speaker bio for ACRL and a mad search for a recent photograph. While I find it odd to submit these things for a poster presentation (as opposed to a session speaker), I finished the bio and submitted it, along with my smiling digital self-portrait, just a few moments ago. Now all I have to do cross my fingers funding is granted and register for the conference after the holiday hustle and bustle.
I was adding catalog links for Christmas LC subject headings into a children's literature LibGuide this afternoon. In the spirit of the approaching holiday season, here are a few non-traditional - titles:
- Auntie Claus
- How Murray Saved Christmas
- How Santa Lost His Job
- I See Santa Everywhere
- Mrs. Claus Takes a Vacation
- Olive, The Other Reindeer
- Peter Claus and the Naughty List
- Santa Claustrophobia
- How Santa Got His Job
And, last but certainly not least, a few favorites:
- The Mouse Before Christmas
- Peef: The Christmas Bear
- The Polar Express
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas
- The Night Before Christmas Pop-up
- Room For A Little One: A Christmas Tale
