Juvenile graphic lit is taking off

I'm truly amazed at how much faster the juvenile graphic literature has been circulating since it got its own home. It doesn't even have a sign yet, but it's flying out the door! I was planning on taking pictures at East Side and Indian Trail as well, but at the moment, Indian Trail has exactly one item in its juvenile graphic lit section; everything else is checked out. Wow!

Learning is like chocolate!

At least, to me it is. Learning something new makes me feel good. I tend to be a learner for learning's sake, and sometimes get so caught up in how cool everything is, that I forget where I'm trying to go. I usually have the end in mind when I start, but I can easily get distracted and go off on a tangent suggested by something fun that comes up in the middle of what I'm working on. I like the idea of a learning contract: a place to remind myself where I'm going, and what it will take to get there. That doesn't mean I can't pursue those wild tangents, but I think it might keep me from losing focus and letting the original purpose slide. So much to learn, so little time!
