Home | The Librarian's Toolbox

WELCOME TO MY SITE!

Librarians have to know a little about a lot. We are your one-stop-shops.

Your jack-of-all-trades of the book world. That being said, things can get a little messy.

THIS BLOG IS MEANT TO BE MY OWN PERSONAL TOOLBOX.

A place where I can write down ideas and keep track of successes and failures.

Feel free to riffle through my toolbox!

I’d love to hear your ideas and am open to suggestions.
