I've been a librarian for about 30!years, worked with kidlit since the early 90s, and I've never read the Hatchet. I've read loads of Paulsen, just never The Hatchet. We are reading it for a genre study. I may have googled "what chapter does Brian get rescued? 🙃

Spent the weekend watching ACHA d2 men's hockey. My nephew is on the UMinn squad. Fun times. Lost one/won one. Go gophers.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.

Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.

I amuse myself in storytime: When the letter of the day is P and 3 little pumpkins sitting on a fence meld. 💩 #librarylife
