Fan Fic February

The library and Tidewater Comicon are working together to bring a fan-fiction program to the high school closest to the library I work at, and I was invited to be a part of it!

I didn't want to distract the kids from their great work (or worry about photo waivers or whatever) so Ollie posed with the flier:

We'll be doing this every Thursday this month, so there's more fun to come!

Snow

I know some of the other LVs got REAL snow this weekend, but Ollie got a typical Virginia Beach snow:

Looking out the windows at work, wondering if we're going to close early.

Getting home after we DID close early... Ollie doesn't have cold weather clothes,
so I let him share my very large infinity scarf.

We don't have 8 mittens so Ollie didn't play in the snow.

Christmas

Between the chaos of having four different Christmas celebrations and my phone suddenly deciding that every other photo should swap the blue/red colors to make everything weirdly colored (Ollie turned out a burnt orange in every photo like that), I didn't get photos of Ollie doing things like opening presents or stockings, etc.

But on December 30, Tidewater Comicon hosted a free movie night at another library (not the one I work at) in Virginia Beach, so we went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy, and we saw this big book tree in the library.

Library Fun

Since I'm a librarian, Ollie will get to spend a lot of time in our library. It's a unique library though, because we're a Joint-Use Library. It's a community college library (which I work for) combined with a public library.

This week, I'm holding drop-in citation workshops for students who don't know how to cite their sources. Ollie helped me set up yesterday:

And last night was our book club (a program by the public library, so I participate as a member outside of my work hours). Instead of everyone reading the same book, we pick a genre every month and we each read something different. So our program leader puts together a little game based on the genre each month to start with. This month was romance books, so she printed out the book covers to the top 20 romance books on Good Reads, and we had to arrange them in what we thought was the right order, as a group.

Ollie inspects the results...
The three that are further to the right than the others
are the only ones we placed correctly!!!

There will be a lot more library-based adventures, I'm sure, so I'll try to spread them out.
