I Think I Want a Cat...???

May 17, 2015 Hailley Fargo

Not to stereotype my profession of librarians, but there seems to be a majority of us who love cats. We could probably have a day devoted to bringing our cats to school (and then heavily clean for all those with cat allergies).

And now I might be a cat lover too.

April: A Month of Decisions

April 15, 2015 Hailley Fargo

In lieu of a library land update, I wanted to talk about April. It's becoming one of my favorite months for the simple reasons I've made a lot of big decisions during these 30 days over the years. Things are going well, and you should keep reading!

Tweeting in Library Land

April 11, 2015 Hailley Fargo

So I love Twitter. A lot. And this week I've had the opportunity to use it. In my (humble) opinion, my Twitter game has been ON POINT. All this tweeting has reminded me why I love Twitter and the ways in which you can use it to do all sorts of things. See how my dreams of having an excuse to go all out on Twitter this week turned out...

Music and the brain

April 4, 2015 Hailley Fargo

If I could do something entirely else -- restart my entire education -- I think I would focus on psychology and how the brain reacts in regards to music. I'm fascinated with this topic, which I first discovered when I began playing music (circa third grade piano lessons). I remember being in high school, playing the clarinet in our annual band show and feeling so incredibly happy. Those moments that are both in body and out of body moments. The music physically surrounding you while you think, "This moment and everyone in it is enough."

Podcast Central

March 29, 2015 Hailley Fargo

Recently, I've been finding podcasts to be really relaxing and entertaining. I've been lucky to find and have been recommended some great all female podcasts. It's great to see interesting, powerful, and confident women working their way into a mostly male dominated field. It seems that each episode I listen to gives me a lot to think about and lots of world wide web links to follow after the fact. What's great about many of these podcasts below are that you can literally just jump into the most recent episode and back track if you fall in love with the hosts (and what they talk about).
