How Did You Do That? Photo Apps Version
I get a lot of email where people ask how I created such and such of a graphic. Today, I thought I would share some of my favorite tips, tricks, and filters. A decent portion of my current teen programming involves teaching teens how to do fun photo tricks and then to translate that into […]
Karen’s Top 15 Reads of 2015
Earlier this month Amanda shared her Favorite 15 reads of 2015. Today it is my turn. Since we try to cover as many books as possible here, we often don’t read the same books, though that is not a hard and fast rule. Sometimes I will read a book and want to talk to Amanda […]
App Review: FotoRus
It’s been a couple of weeks since I talked about a photo app, so you probably thought that my obsession with photos and photo apps was dying down – but no! It is alive and well, I have just been waiting for the right moment. Like now, now feels like the right moment to discuss […]
Sunday Reflections: Last Christmas, I Gave You My Hope
The girls and I woke up last Christmas in an empty apartment full of nothing but hope. There was no tree. There were no lights. There weren’t even any dishes to eat a take out Christmas dinner on. You see last Christmas, we had hope that our lives were going to change. I had been […]

Book Review: Other Broken Things by Christa Desir, reviewed by teen reviewer Lexi
When I read OTHER BROKEN THINGS by Christa Desir, I thought it was one of the most authentic teen voices I had read in a while. And now that we a TLT Teen Advisory Board, I thought I would ask one of them to read it and tell me what they thought. Lexi’s review follows […]
TPiB: Quick Doctor Who Decorations/Ornaments
The other day in the Programming Librarian Interest Group on FB page someone (Melissa Hozik) mentioned that they were having a Doctor Who themed holiday program. And someone (Evan Mather) then mentioned that they should call it a Doctor Wholiday Party. Genius!! As a huge Doctor Who fan I was disappointed in myself for not […]
Sunday Reflections: Reflections on the perfect gift and what it means to be a man
The other day I received a text from The Mr.: Don’t ever let it be said that I don’t love you or support Teen Librarian Toolbox, it said, I’m currently driving an hour away to buy you a book cart for your “office”. For the record, my “office” is technically the dining room. We eat […]
