妈妈和我在公共图书馆的日期

By Harmony F.

As mother to a busy-bodied 22 month old, I’m always looking for fun and easy activities to entertain and educate my curious boy, Henry. Henry is a little man on a mission and like most toddlers, prefers to explore his world in very physical ways.

Lucky for us, Henry LOVES books and is willing to sit still through dramatic readings of The Pout-Pout Fish or to lift page-after-page of flaps in search of Spot. The times each morning and night he spends curled up in our laps for story time, are often the only minutes in the day he stops moving. Unlucky for us, he usually loves ONE book at a time, 6-10 times per day.

你有没有读过猫的皮特:一天八次公共汽车上的车轮?像亨利的笨拙的编舞一样可爱,可能很难采取。我们喜欢在没有破坏银行的情况下保持我们的书籍清新。

Creating Magic for an 8-Year-Old

By Jolie V.

Ms. Valentine, do you have a book on the Greek alphabet?

为什么是。是的,我愿意。

营读了很多时间,我能听到孩子at the picnic table, their voices raised to that particular shrillness that usually means an argument is about to boil over. There’s activity over at the fishing pond, too – but I don’t have a line of direct sight to the lines to see if anyone is swinging them…ah, no swinging yet. But I have, I estimate, about forty seconds to help you find a book on the Greek alphabet. After that, who knows what will happen with the fishing lines and the picnic argument.

Library Research Forever Changed My Son’s Life

By Dana G.

最后5月,我18岁的儿子有一个摩托车事故,严重破坏了他的左锁骨。经过两次访问本地专家和外科医生,我对他们的预后感到失望......即使我儿子的骨头被刺痛,几乎通过他的皮肤戳了一声,也没有任何说得不做。另一个人说他应该用臀部移植物和5“金属板有六个螺丝。这将留下一个巨大的疤痕,他的一只手臂会缩短,他的四十多岁是最有可能背痛的。...作为一个医学图书管理员,我对自己说:“我想知道Infotrac可以告诉我什么?

A look at a current news item through the lens of different titles available on GVRL.

By Michelle Eickmeyer

Long live the Queen! Or at least, long live the Kingdom. The Scottish people have spoken and they, and their country, will maintain their place as part of the United Kingdom. Why did they decide to join in the first place? What are some of the motivators for separation now? What does it mean to me, or you, or a student coming through your library door?

Here are five titles that look at Scotland from different perspectives:

19th Century Nitty-Gritty: The Indian Exhibition

By Melissa Rayner

The previous posts in this series have explored Western life through a Western lens. This week, I’d like to mix it up a little. Let’s take a look at the East for a change, and let’s look at it through… a Western lens–well, you can’t change everything at once, can you?

The World’s Fair, what would you give to be able to travel back in time and attend it for yourself? If you just lend me a few moments of your time, I can take you to this marvelous, majestic, mysterious, and otherwise m-ridden land. Close your eyes…
