More Good News!!



I have more good news to share!! I have accepted a position at my library as the Youth Services Department Manager. This is a new direction for my library to have children and teen under one department umbrella and I'm super excited to be part of it. (So for those of you who have libraries that use this model, let me know-I'd love to ask you lots of questions!!)

What does this mean for my blog? Well, I'll still be serving tweens and teens, so no change there to what I'll be reading and reviewing. The biggest change I'm thinking about is adding picture book reviews and maybe including younger kids programs and tween programs when I post about program ideas. Yay or nay on those ideas?

Yep, it's been an exciting few days in GreenBeanTeenQueen-land!:)

  3. Dude, I'm just glad I won't have to grovel at your knees to beg you to stay at TLC. My pants would get dirty.

  8. At our small/medium library, I am Youth Services. That means I serve all kids, from age 0 to age 17 (or twelfth grade, take your pick). So, I would really appreciate reviews and program ideas for the younger set, too!

  10. Congrats...that would be my dream job! (I teach 5th grade Lang. Arts in a public school.) I say "yay" to including pic books, etc. I use a lot of those for mentor texts for writing and really, my students love them!

  12. Congratulations!

    My library functions this way as well. We have 1 teen librarian and her helper (ME!) mixed in with the YSers.

    And programming ideas are ALWAYS appreciated.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
