Welcome to my “community media” space for music and learning!
Hot Take
Stay cool this summer with live music! Live shows in your town—in air conditioned libraries or breezy riverside parks—are a great way to beat the heat. Farmers’ markets, summer festivals, and community centers are also great places to connect with your neighbors and local musicians.
Summer Reading
In between fun summer events, don’t forget to do your summer reading. Most libraries give out prizes to kids and grownups, so don’t let anyone in your family miss out!
Give Your Input – Where do you like to hear live music?
Quote of the Week
Life is better with a bit of laughter.

Featured Creator
This week, we’re featuring children’s book author Kristi Mahoney!
Kristi’s debut picture book, ALPACAS MAKE TERRIBLE LIBRARIANS, is a finalist for the SCBWI Crystal Kite Awards. These are peer-voted awards for the best children’s books published in 2024.
SCBWI members, click here to vote for your favorite books in each division—especially Kristi’s New England Division.
Whether or not you’re an SCBWI member, I hope you’ll enjoy the song I wrote for this book. Hopefully, this title will soon be stuck in your head forever! 😉
Whether or not you like the song, please join me in congratulating Kristi for being a Crystal Kite finalist. Kristi is not only a celebrated author, she’s also my critique partner and friend. And I’m here to say that her book, ALPACAS MAKE TERRIBLE LIBRARIANS, is as lovely and funny as she is.
