Loving these new business cards from Moo where I customized the back of the card on each one with Free to Use and Reuse images from the Library of Congress. ♥️

I’m not saying this bread gifted by a second grade student wouldn’t have happened without our extensive cooking and baking book section, but I sure don’t think it hurt. 😋 🍞

[Tom Bober @CaptainLibrary]

I love when a library lesson works with the classroom curriculum so well that teachers ask for it again the next year!
We started in that lesson today. 🙂

[Tom Bober @CaptainLibrary]

Our building does a staff breakfast most Fridays. Today, me and a few of my colleagues hosted. We had fruit and casseroles and I broke out my favorite pancake recipe to make a trio of options for the staff.

@MauraMadigan7 @mstewartscience Glad for the water fountain. And glad we don’t have bathrooms! 😂

[Tom Bober @CaptainLibrary]

We’re in the midst of Nonfiction November and before we delve into @mstewartscience ‘s 5 Kinds of Nonfiction, we’re grounding ourselves in a better understanding between the difference in Narrative and Expository NF text. Talking with Ss about there observations here.
