"Someone said I could like...register to vote here?"

I've been looking everywhere for a t-shirt that says, "register to vote at your library". So far I've come up with nothing. As the big election draws nearer I think that I may have to just design it myself. I want to create a little sign for my car window too. We don't exactly publish this information on our website or in our calendar of events- at least I haven't seen it yet. People approach the information desk daily with the timid question. Secretly I wish I could wrap the library with a giant flashy banner so everyone would know. Because not so long ago I was one of them. No one ever told me that I could register at the library.

Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes/ Well worth your time

I sift through so many YA books each week. It is an experience when I find one that such pleasure to read. This is not to say that there is a shortage of good YA lit, just that I'm still playing young librarian catch-up so I try to read it all. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed. The story of death of Olive Barstow just lifts off the pages. Henkes communicates the sense of uncertainty and immortality with such ease.
