Westerly Sun Column | Check Out Oscar Nominees at the Library

Jan 30, 2023

It’s that time of year again, when the list of Oscar nominees is released and I feel terribly out of touch because I haven’t actually heard of (let alone seen) 98% of the films.

Westerly Sun Column | Let Creativity Run Wild in the Makerspace

Jan 23, 2023

I’m interested in designing and making a necklace for my daughter. I have a bunch of old family videos on VHS, but I only have a DVD player. I want to hem my pants, but don’t have a sewing machine.

Westerly Sun Column | Learn Basic Life Skills at the Library

Jan 17, 2023

I like to think that I’m of average intelligence and have a decent skillset for a person my age. I’m a librarian, after all, and a mother, so I spend most of my day passing information on to other people (and changing diapers).
