Hoot Owl Storytime
A project for my LS5343 Youth Programs class was to design a storytime program. I picked one of my son's favorite books, Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise by Sean Taylor. Check out my program ideas on Glogster to see the song and craft, too!

Booktube!
I've jumped in to the booktube community, and I'm loving it so far! I only have a few review videos up, and they're a little pretty awkward, but honestly, I had SO much fun making them! I have a couple more of my new feature A BOOK A MINUTE to upload this month, and then I hope to add a LOT of new content in November!
Check out my booktube channel: How I Feel About Books
I have a great list of booktubers to subscribe to, but also let me know what booktubers are your favorites - or if you record videos, too!

Halloween Storytime
Yesterday I held a Halloween storytime for two classes from SRVS. I know, I know - it's only the beginning of October! But for now, this program is only held once a month, so I had to share these excellent books while I could!
See the setup in a better light here.
I read:
- Goodnight Goon by Michael Rex
- Little Shop of Monsters by R.L. Stine and Marc Brown
- a few poems from Your Skeleton is Showing: Rhymes of Blunder from Six Feet Under by Kurt
Cyrus, illustrated by Crab Scrambly
- Monster Mash by David Catrow
I encouraged the group to speak/sing along as I read Monster Mash; we also listened to the song by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and danced. Then I turned off all the lights and asked for volunteers to tell ghost stories.
It was a fun program, but several of the individuals asked if we were making monster crafts. I had substituted the ghost stories section for craft time, since we have a little less than an hour for the whole program, and I pay for supplies out of pocket. For future Halloween programs, I'll definitely have a fun monster craft planned. Lesson learned!
I reviewed the first three books on the read-aloud list as "Best Books for
Halloween" and made a short video, so check it out for more on those titles.
I've also written about previous library programs for adults with disabilities.
