P Joy Webster
I grew up in Meadow Lake, SK and moved to Quebec City in 1997. I am a School Library Tech, I teach English as a second language, and I do translation from time to time.
I've always enjoyed telling stories, and when a friend/assistant teacher encouraged me to expand a short story that I'd written for his class, I knew I had to write an actual novel.
Writing "Don't come here, Julie!" was really a labour of love. I wanted to create a girl character that wasn't a wimp, and tell a story with lots of action that will appeal to both boys and girls. Let me know if I succeeded.
I am a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature in West Redding, CT and was invited to do their Advanced Program. In the framework of this program, I wrote a sequel called "Don't tell Julie." I finished that program in Nov. 2014, and will continue tweaking the sequel. Keep your eyes peeled for it!

Blog postPeople seem to think that librarians are scared of technology, especially middle-aged women librarians with their hair in a bun. (Sound like anyone you know?)
The fear is not of technology but technology alone will not keep people coming to the library. People will have the same technology at home that they can get at the library.
The fear we have is that jobs will be lost. E-books don’t need to be processed, repaired, or shelved, and they don’t go overdue because they are aut2 years ago Read more -
Blog postI guess this is the kind of library we should be aiming at. Maybe if our libraries were arranged differently, and books were easier to find, people would borrow more books.
Food for thought.

Blog postPeut-être suis-je vieux-jeu et on pourrait me dire que j’ai besoin d’évoluer dans mon opinion de ce que c’est qu’une bibliothèque, mais il me semble que la bibliothèque est un endroit où on va pour lire et pour chercher des livres à lire à la maison.
Aujourd’hui, les bibliothèques se déguisent en magasin du vidéo et en arcade. Le monde s’achète ses propres livres électroniques pour lire partout &ag2 years ago Read more -
Blog postI’m wondering if I’m just old fashioned, and maybe my idea of what a library is needs to evolve, but it seems to me a library is a place where one goes to read or pick up books to read at home.
Now that libraries are turning into an inexpensive video store and gaming room and people are buying their own e-books so that they can read at their own pace, and carry their books around easily, we need to examine our mission statements.

Blog postRécemment, j’ai eu le privilège de connaître Kenneth Oppel (un auteur jeunesse Canadien qui est bien connu) alors qu’il est venu à Québec dans le cadre du Performing Arts Festival.
Je n’ai pas été surprise d’apprendre qu’il a des enfants, parce qu’il a parlé avec les enfants qui étaient là de façon très naturelle. Il avait preparé u2 years ago Read more -
Blog postI recently had the privilege of meeting Kenneth Oppel, a well-known YA author when he came here to Quebec City as part of the Performing Arts Festival.
I wasn’t surprised to find out that he has kids, because he interacted with them very naturally. He had a very well-done power point presentation that showed his book “Airborn” floating in outer space, some of the research that he did on primates for his book “Half brother” and some of the characters that he put on the mythic train fea2 years ago Read more -

Blog postHi, everyone,
I’m sure you are wondering why I haven’t written in my blog for so long. Lots of things have been happening in my personal life that made it difficult to write.
I broke my foot in Aug 2011, and thought that I would have time to write. However, a lot of my time was spent going to medical appointments, and it took a lot more time that it would normally take to do things like making meals and washing my hair. Dealing with unemployment insurance and such also took up3 years ago Read more -
Blog postI don’t know when exactly I was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome. I remember getting my cheek swabbed when I was 10 or 11, but I wasn’t told why. I didn’t actually hear the term Turner Syndrome until I was 15. Back then, there wasn’t much they could do for me, so I gladly closed my file in the Genetics department of the hospital when I turned 20 or so and went on with my life.
About 25 years later, in Dec 2010, I had this overwhelming urge to do research on this extr3 years ago Read more -
