I made many of these paper flowers using Lia Griffith’s tutorials.
Much of my free time is devoted to crafting: embroidering my mon (Japanese family crest) onto a tea towel, knitting my daughter's Halloween costume, cutting a garden out of paper.
And until the library opens its own Makerspace, I'm making do by turning my family room into my own defacto Makerspace (much to my husband's chagrin).
Recently released movies such as Aladdin and Toy Story 4, along with the highly anticipated opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World mean Disney mania is at an all-time high.
However, you do not have to travel far to experience some Disney magic - you can find some right here at the library!

As DPPL's school liaison librarian, I have lots of tools to capture a child's attention.
Outer space props, robots, a prize wheel, glow in the dark T-shirts and my blow-up astronaut costume all make getting the attention of a room full of children for fifteen minutes a piece of cake.
More difficult: corralling the attention of my own children.
Editors Note: This post from June 2018 has great resources, we can't help but share again this year.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/or Questioning (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated every year in June.
It includes such festivities as parades, parties, picnics, workshops, symposia, concerts, and all manner of public events that attract millions of participants around the world.
In the United States, Pride Month has historically been observed in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City.
