@christines This is interesting. Think about how a mobile learning vehicle might fall in line with the learning modules…perhaps even a bit of “Power of Stories.” Try some outside the box thinking too. 😀

@royaflin Yes – I think social prescriptions are participatory. This feels to me like an extension of the libraries that are hiring social workers. You might want to include that and then go from there with your ideas for expanding into social prescriptions, etc..

@lauraw Yes. First choose what topic area from the four… most probably Global and then go from there.

Thanks @Michael. I have to admit, I’ve been focusing on another big project for my other class and haven’t been able to focus on my Inspo. Report yet! I’m also floundering on a topic. I’m thinking of leaning into Indigenous librarianship. Are we to kind of pick and choose other things libraries are doing that highlight our chosen topic and report on them?

@Michael. I’ve made some headway into my inspiration report, but started to feel like I needed to confirm with you if it’s suitable. I wanted to focus my inspiration report on providing comprehensive services to foster teens (a subject near and dear to my heart). My idea is a pilot program that positions libraries as a vital hub for social prescriptions and referrals from healthcare providers, social services, schools and other community stakeholders. This initiative explicitly targets foster youth, offering resources and services that support their physical, mental, and social well-being.
Here is a recent article on social prescriptions from the NY Times that sparked this idea in the first place:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/17/well/mind/social-prescription-health-medication-art.html
Does this fit the four options in the inspiration report? Could social prescriptions count as a participatory trend? Or am I getting way off track here?
Thank you so much for your input.

Hi @michael. I was really interested in coming up with an new program for San Francisco PL which would be to provide the community who visit Golden Gate Park Promenade (a car-free section that covers a large portion of the park include major attractions like the Conservatory of Flowers, Academy of Sciences, and The DeYoung Museum) a SF Book Mobile for all to enjoy while spending time in the park. What better way to bring joy to people than books while relaxing in the park? I’m thinking this could be part of infinite learning: the book mobile will learn more about outdoor park communities and constantly keep up with what their needs are. What do you think? Thanks!

@matilda I saw that movie when it came out. I was 13! Perhaps too young but I loved the story!

I’m pretty sure I have only seen it once in my life. If I’ve even seen it all the way through? It was one of those movies that sometimes played on Saturday afternoons on TV when I was young but then became hard to find when I got old enough to be interested.
BUT right after I commented I was actually finally able to check my library’s…[Read more]
