Welcome to the first installment of our End of Week Care Package!
As library staff, we miss seeing all of you in person. We miss chatting with our regular customers. We miss meeting new folks every day. And we miss the general magic of all the chance encounters, unexpected conversations, and unpredictable questions that allow us to help and connect with others.
So as we continue to connect with customers in new ways online – like this blog! – we’ve decided to start a weekly post where staff will share what has brought them solace over the last week and make book, film, music, and other recommendations for you to enjoy over the coming weekend.
Moments of solace:
- Binge watching episodes of Baroness Von Sketch
- Watching John Krasinski’s Some Good News series
- Rediscovering the art of letter writing with children
- Listening to Cheryl Strayed’s new podcast Sugar Calling in which she turns to writers like Margaret Atwood for inspiration
- DIY haircuts. Be safe with shears and remember it will always grow back!
- Moving with online dance and streaming yoga
- Discovering new artists through NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts
- At home beer delivery
