		<title>Snakebit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My daughter stepped on a little snake in the driveway tonight, and it bit her on the foot. My husband got a good look at it and figured out it wasn&#8217;t poisonous, and my daughter was really cool about it. She said, &#8220;Well, I don&#8217;t blame it for biting me. I&#8217;d bite too if I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stumped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son asked me the other day what I would want to be if not a librarian. I was most certainly perplexed. Librarians are unique creatures who fit into the world like the proverbial square pegs in round holes. I am no exception. As such, I cannot imagine what else I would do. Maybe be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun is an Attitude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a new job in Administration. I thought it would be a dry and humorless job filled with endless paperwork, and, to be honest it sometimes is.  I write and review policies, apply for grants, deal with personnel issues and patron complaints. When I first learned of my new job responsibilities, I kept listening [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Calvin and Hobbs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“County library? Reference desk, please. Hello? Yes, I need a word definition. Well, that&#8217;s the problem. I don&#8217;t know how to spell it and I&#8217;m not allowed to say it. Could you just rattle off all the swear words you know and I&#8217;ll stop you when&#8230;Hello?”]]></description>

		<title>Secret Life of Librarians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are like most people, you think of librarians as shy and quiet folks who talk in hushed tones and say &#8220;Sshh&#8221; alot. I have yet to meet that librarian. Maybe she does exist somewhere, but the librarians I know are vibrant, animated people with definite opinions and interesting lives. If you don&#8217;t believe [...]]]></description>

		<title>What My Teenagers Are Reading&#8230;because they WANT TO!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My thirteen-year-old son is devouring The Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, and my seventeen-year-old daughter just finished the entire Gatekeepers series by the same author. I have not had the opportunity to read either. They asked me for these books themselves. In fact my son checked out one of the Alex Rider books from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Freedom to Read</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I was asked to review a children&#8217;s book that had been challenged at one of our branch libraries.  The book, Devil in the Drain by Daniel Pinkwater, is old and no longer appears to be in print. But, the author is popular and award-winning. As soon as I saw the title, I could guess at [...]]]></description>
