The Method to the Madness
One of my favorite things about working for a public library is the freedom I have to intersect my passions.

Last September, my husband and I visited the Museum of Shadows in Omaha, NE.

I spent 10 days in Germany. The whole trip was spectacular and one I will never forget, but one major highlight was the train travel.
The Little Bird That Kept So Many Warm
If you’ve ever taken an English class or if you’re a sad poetry lesbian (this is a very weird venn diagram that is one small circle entirely engulfed by a much larger circle), you’re at least passingly familiar with the works of Emily Dickinson. Dickinson was a reclusive and prolific poet who penned these now-famous…
