Being an SLS for Arapahoe Libraries has given me so many opportunities to figure out what I love most about the library world. Getting to fill in on the bookmobile was an extra special treat.

I was recently on a Sunday shift at the library & it was cold, rainy, & very slow. We can read on desk so I finished “The Hollow Places” by @tkingfisher.com Fabulous, horribly unsettling. I now deeply distrust willows & my co-librarians were enjoying my concerned expressions. 😂
