We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog, already in progress...

Seriously, please accept our apologies for the long break since the last post. May is always a hectic month around the library, and this year it was no different.

Well, it was a little different. On May 16th, we lost one of our employees. Circulation Clerk (and blog contributor) Christina (aka "Lister") obtained her Master of Library Science degree in April (YAY!) and accepted a job at a library in Garland in May (Not YAY! for us, but YAY! for her).

We'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank "Lister" for all of her assistance and enthusiasm -- not just on the job every day, but in setting up this blog and redesigning the "JPL for Kids" Website. Her assistance and input was invaluable, and we know she'll go far in whatever she chooses to do. We wish her all the best.

Well, it's now June, and today is the first day of Summer Reading Club for the kids. While the Club is only for kids who have finished fifth grade or younger, Jo could always use a little extra help, so if you're interested in volunteering to help out, contact Jo here at the library (Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays are best ; if you have to call here on a Tuesday or Wednesday, call in the afternoons after 2:15 or so).

We have a lot of new reviews on the way, so please bear with us and watch this blog for updates. Once things calm down a bit on the Summer Reading Club front, Jo will pipe in with her review of the sequel to Dairy Queen. I know it's no substitute for Jo, but I'll be posting a few reviews myself over the next few weeks or so.

In the meantime, can we possibly make it up to you by including this link to the Official Website (and trailer) for Twilight, coming to a theater near you on December 12, 2008? We thought so.

See you at the library!
