Vacation in Denver

Samantha and I had vacation in Denver last week. We spent time with her uncle Ansie who just so happens to be a manager at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Denver. The trip was wonderful. Seriously, we had so much fun. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

The teens at my library have started a garden. Cheers!

Drudging Through Poor Reading

Sometimes, I love working as a librarian that specializes in young adult literature. However, sometimes I loathe it. My job requires me to be up to snuff on the latest Gateway and Truman award nominee books. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake and The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson fall into this category of required reading. Both of these books are poorly written supernatural stories with a little romance thrown in. The books are so forgettable, my mind has already forgotten them. Please stay away.
