Welcome to the Adventures of a Caffeinated Children's Librarian. My name is Jenni, also known as Miss Jen to the tiny humans. I am in my sweet 16th year of working as a children's librarian, but have been raised to be in this profession with a preschool teacher mom and an elementary art teacher grandma. I have become known around the library for being super energetic, filled with crazy ideas, and willing to try just about anything! These are stories of my adventures!

The power of Pinterest
God, it's so true! I don't know where I would be without Pinterest! For starters, it makes me seem a heck of a lot more creative and crafty than I really am! I especially love that I can go down a programming rabbit hole and be able to save all these crazy, random ideas in a magical cloud instead of my overcrowded brain! What's really cool is that very often pins actually do get my creative juices flowing and I start spinning off with all new ideas and all around insanity! Pinterest is a magical invention for youth librarians, teachers, and parents everywhere.
Some of my favorite library related Pinterest pages:

https://www.pinterest.com/gfhlibrarykids/
Obviously I would have to choose the two pages that I started! 😀

I am a Family Place Libraries librarian meaning I was trained through the Family Place Training Institute in Centereach, NY. Check out their website www.familyplacelibraries.org for more info! There's lots of great information available through this site as well.

Oh so many of my Preschool STEAM Club ideas were inspired by this site.
Do you Pin? Does Pinterest complete you the way it completes me?
