new additon and epic 80s

The new nephew has entered the world! Robert (Bobby) Dean Radtke was born 6/14 @ 4:46ct and is 9 lbs, 9 oz and 21.5 in long. His favorite activities are making pig snorts, putting his hand or pacifier in his mouth, eating, and chillin' with Mom, Dad and G-ma B. We all fully anticipate him to be running around the yard and reading books from Aunt Robin by the end of next week. I'll keep you posted on that progress...

Moving on...

Recent and continuing tune obsessions:
Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Our House - Madness
Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics
Mama's Boy - Chromeo
Juno movie soundtrack - Various Artists
Scream album - Chris Cornell

I'm open to suggestions of other fab picks.

my second home

It's another Saturday spent behind the children's desk at work. In less than a month, I will have an 8 year anniversary of working at MCDL. Kinda makes me feel old when I see 17 year old patrons here who I used to see at age 9 when I first started. I know that I've found my way back home here at the library - with 1 of 5 quarters finished for my master's in library science degree, I step closer and closer to settling in as a YA librarian. Who knows how many young faces will grow up in front of my surprised eyes? Hopefully many. How many will find a home at the library like I did?...1, 2, 10, or many; all the same. All priceless.
