Written by This just in from a former #hyperlib student via email:
I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I’ve been thinking about you and our class! I was doing my MLIS homework one day and came across a free California State Parks pass that was able to be checked out from the Alameda County Library! I was amazed that we had this opportunity through our local library and didn’t know about it before.I am a part of a Bay Area Hiking group on Facebook because I love nature, and I decided to share the information there, just in case others didn’t know about it like me. And BOOM it has become “viral!”Everyday I get notifications of people “liking,” “commenting,” and “re-sharing” it! Even another Library re-shared it! (Image below). It’s at 2.7K likes and 400+ reshares!I just thought I’d share it with you because it is totally the Hyperlinked library in action 🙂 and how we are all hyperlinks.
Update:
The program was expanded to include hiking backpacks that patrons can check out too. They contain binoculars, nature guides, a compass, and a local parks map.
Here’s a link to the press release:
