Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.
I have just made a decision. When New York Public Library hands me an overwhelming amount of money and tells me to redecorate the Central Children's Room any old way I prefer, I think I'm going to make it look something like this. Any objections?
Delicious, but limits the age of children who will participate i.e. the crowd that has out-grown the McDonald's Funland. It would be too cool, to be cool.
I dunno. I think kids up to the age of twelve would be able to dig the construction. Especially if you put in some hypercolor cubbies here and there. [I kiss the air with my fingertips for emphasis]
Yum! If you get cookie carts then I, the librarian who'd work in that candy colored construction, would also get cookie carts. I like the way you think, Ms. Yee.
That totally rocks.
ReplyDeleteI second that decision!

ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh. I didn't mean cookie carts for the kids. I meant, for me!
