Last week was an interesting one-- I'd been signed up to go to the SLRC tour on Wednesday, but wrecked my car on the way up. I was okay, as was the other driver, but the car wasn't going to the tour, or anywhere else other than the junkyard, alas.
I did, however, make it to Kids Are Customers Too!, the signature event of the Children's Services Division here in Maryland. The event has been an annual tradition for a decade and a half, but this is the first time I'd actually had the chance to attend.
It was a good experience! There were author talks (I particularly enjoyed hearing Melissa Thomson) and discussions about school readiness standards and children's reader's advisory. But I think my favorite part was the book sharing, where I got to talk to more than a dozen other librarians about their favorite math and science books for kids. The list isn't up yet, but every title discussed will be posted on CSD's Handouts page very shortly!
