I love my library kids so hard. Three walked in today with a whole pizza they wanted me to reheat. It’s 10F with a windchill on to of that so the pizza was super cold when they got here. I’m like…eat at a table and not at the computers 😂 Cos, like… 😂 They make me laugh every single day. #libraries #library #publiclibrary #childrenslibrarian
Me to myself after #storytime "a messy #library is a loved library....a messy library is a loved library" 😬 #LibraryLife #ChildrensLibrarian
One of the best parts of my job (and there are a lot of good things about being a #childrenslibrarian) is when young readers take time to show me everything they’re checking out. Oohing and aaahing over their excellent choices of dinosaur and princess books is required. 📚
I still love this picture from my old library! The moments when I got to "play" with the children, though few and far between, were precious to me. I miss it. #joy #happiness #childrenslibrarian #puppets #muppetface

We have a little printer at our self checkout at the library. A little boy is pressing the feed button, stopping, then sheepishly turning around to see if I notice. This is hilarious.

#introduction

Hello, everyone! I'm Elizabeth, born and raised northwest of #Chicago, happily married with three boys, including #twins. I've been a #librarian for many, many years, and still identify as a #childrenslibrarian. I love #books, #cats, #baking, #musicals, #singing, #succulents, and try to successfully focus on these with my #ADHD. :)

I have been doing toddler #storytime for a few months now (18-36 mnth olds) & I’m getting better with this age group, but I got to fill in for my coworker at family story time this week & it was SO MUCH MORE FUN. I love littles, but my skill set is so much more suited to kids s bit older. I really wish I could be a children’s librarian that just focused on 3+, & really with I got to spend more time with the school-age kids too. #librarians #librarian #childrenslibrarian #kidlit #children
@EirinKidsBooks #conversations for sure. Not a #kidlit author, but #childrenslibrarian and aspiring scholar.
