New Youth Services Department....Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's here!  No, it's not a dream, it's finally here!  I haven't said anything on my blog, but we have been remodeling the Youth Services Department since January 2017.  Last week we moved back into our new department, woo-hoo!!!!!!  Can you tell I'm excited?  Yes, I am!  I had to show off some of the awesome new things that we have.  We have lots of other great furniture, adorable seats that have the animals on top to match the end shelves.  A great leaf table with stools, and some beautiful adult chairs that have wonderful fabric on them.  

I do want to say that I am so blessed and honored to be working in this wonderful department.  Yes, I adore the new work space and awesome things.  But the most important thing is, I come to work everyday doing the thing I love!  Instilling a love of reading inside a child's heart.  I have the honor and blessing of doing storytime twice a week and it's an absolute joy to me.  Getting to see the kids smiles and laughter brings such enjoyment to my soul.  I hope that each and everyone of you all have this happiness in your heart, no matter what you do in this world!



This is my new desk, and I am so excited!  I've never had a desk this big or nice before!  I have so much space to work with, and it will probably never be this clean again!  Don't you love the wonderful friends hanging out in the window?


I am in love with this display bookshelf!  We have a woodland theme in the new department, and this is just precious!


Here is a view of two of three of our new bookends, the owl, squirrel and bird.  We have woodland animals on the outer edges, on carpet.  In the middle, on wavy shelves, we have water animals. They are on tile that is blue.  Don't you love the clouds hanging from the ceiling too?


Here is our cute frog!  I love the bottom of the end shelf that has the fly and reeds on it.


Here is the other end shelf with the cute little duck swimming along!  I love the little touches, like the water and fish below the duck.
