Beach scenes from my morning walk along the ocean. This vendor had everything you would need for a day at the beach. Creative. Friendly. Energetic.

Children's imaginations will soars they learn how librarians deliver books in unusual ways to children in remote areas around the world. Thank you to librarians everywhere who share books with young readers.

Our time at JAMS in Kenya has come to an end, but the memories will stay with us forever. We’re so grateful to Dr. Wasonga for welcoming us and for reminding us that difficult roads often lead to the most beautiful places.

What do these books have in common? All three are books about people who share stories for children of all ages! Do you have these in your libraries or classrooms?

Discover nature's beauty in Yosemite National Park in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. Yosemite Valley offers the beauty of nature at every turn! I return often to enjoy hiking, biking, rafting, and, often, just sitting.

Delicate flowers blooming on the Lewis Creek Trail on the way to Yosemite. They cover hillsides all the way down to creek. Gorgeous day in the Sierra.
