I love acquiring new knowledge that the programs I create provide. Even if the program is on a serious topic, it can be a joyful experience because I have intentionally created a welcoming, safe environment for people. This intentionality is all a part of the program-planning process which can be a joyous experience in and of itself.
What module would be a good fit for this?
@michael
The Hyperlinked Library Model (Module 3)? Although I haven’t gone through Modules 11-15 yet… Thanks for sharing this positive and encouraging article!
@natalie
A wonderful article! I would place it in Module 7 – Planning for Participatory Services. Thank you for sharing!
Oooh, tough call.
This article reminded me of Mod 13 article by Christian Laurensen:

I might put it into Mod 14– those are all “cherry on top” type articles that bring the class to a gratifying close by reminding us that although there is always chaos and unknowns in a library, embracing it with a curious and loveing heart will bring both the patron and the librarian JOY.
I agree, Module 14 seems like a good fit!
@natalie @elena @bsteenburg @ali0 thanks for your ideas and feedback 😀😀😀😀
