Andrea Lorenz

Hi!  I'm Andrea Lorenz, Program Coordinator (and jack of all library trades) at the East Grand Forks Campbell Library.  I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana in 2006 and received my Masters of Library and Information Science degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2011.  I do a little bit of everything at my teeny tiny library, but I primarily plan and execute programs for humans of all ages.

Counting
Counting

As we get back into the rhythm of in person storytime, it’s always good to start with the basics. I LOVE to do counting stuff in storytime - forwards, backwards, using math words so this was fun for me.

BOOKS:

We read Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Kevin Cornell and One-osaurus, Two-osaurus by Kim Norman, illustrated by Pierre Collet-Derby.

Secret Agents!
Secret Agents!

As I was planning our Spy School event, I kept thinking, “Man, a secret agent storytime would be fun!” and then went looking and didn’t find much. I Spy storytimes, yes, Secret Agents, not so much. So here’s what I came up with.

BOOKS:

We read Secret Agent Man Goes Shopping for Shoes by Tim Wynne-Jones, illustrated by Brian Won and Secret Secret Agent Guy by Kira Bigwood, illustrated by Celia Krampien.
