Monthly Wrap Up for March 2025

Windy March is already over and I'm excited for the sunshine and being outside a bit more. My April schedule is quite busy, so I won't be reading as much next month. My goal relates to a new challenge I found on Goodreads. 

March TBR Revisited

This is my list from last month. 

I have made progress with The Dream Clean but I still have more to read! I got First-Timer Caller out of the way quickly and completely forgot about the last book from this list until the end of the month. Womp womp.

April TBR

Goodreads started a reading challenge where you read a book from one of the lists below. I didn't realized in ended on April 30th! I thought I had all year!

I sneaked in the Sweet and Spicy bookmark by reading Quicksilver this month. So, I have to find and read 5 books from their list this month to get all these bookmarks!

Currently I plan on reading the following books for this challenge.
 
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig - Buzzy Books
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney - Back Up Buzzy Books
A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross - Epic Quest
The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict - Era Explorer
The Last One by Rachel Howzell Hall - Essential Reader
The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West - Her Story

Scavenger Hunts

Image
I have recently made all of my scavenger hunts for one year and wanted to share them in case anyone needs ideas! I started doing these in April. They were so popular that I made two for the summer months since kids were coming in more often. If you are planning to start your own hunt, I'll describe what I do now after a few months of trial and error. I make all the designs in Canva. My library pays for a Pro account which makes it a lot easier to make these. I started off making these too small. We got so many complaints because they were too hard to find. I now make them about the size of my palm and give them a white background so it isn't as hard to find. I learned very quickly that we needed two sets of each theme. We had a few bunnies and weather clouds walk away which makes the hunt impossible to complete. We now have an extra set ready to go at our reference desk.  If you don't already have one, ask for a Cricut and the software that comes with it. It has made the pr...

Summer Reading Ideas: Color Our World 2025

Image
I've been thinking about some special events I can do this summer that either fit the color theme or sound like fun for me and the guests. This year I am in main contact for most of our museum events so I can't create every event I would like to. If you don't know, many libraries work with local organizations and museums. This can happen all year long but the summertime is our busy season so we try to fill it with fun things for everyone to do.  This is a list of my ideas both events and passive! Feel free to take any of these to make your own.  Rock Painting We have a Kindness Rock Garden at the front of our library that I was able to get set up last year . I want to have a painting event where I provide rocks, paint, paint pens, and brushes. Passive Art Puzzle I found these blank puzzle pieces on Amazon and would love to have guests color a piece and add them to the puzzle. I want to use a few pieces to write something like "Color Our Puzzle". Snail Mail Decora...

Dog Man Day

Image
What is Dog Man Day? Dog Man fans of all ages are invited to join the supa epic event with activities and games. We'll play Dog Man bingo, a personality test, assess your sniffers, and more. Dog Man is Go! That don't make no sense! But we like it! I first came across this idea from a post from Ontarian Librarian . She was able to get a Comic Creator booklet and some other cool items to make her event a hit. I took a few of her ideas and made them my own but she is the reason I made this event. I learned about Dog Man Day after Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea came out. Scholastic made an event kit with lots of activities. I read through them and picked the ones I knew I could do. With the power of these two sources, I was able to put together a plan for my own event. What I did to prepare I would say that reading at least one Dog Man book is a requirement for running this program. I read up to Brawl of the Wild and I can see why the series is so popular.  Staffing was simpl...
