\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 During the exploration of the Hyperlinked Communities Modules, I was most moved by Ciara Eastell\u2019s speech titled <\/span>How libraries change lives. <\/span><\/i>In her TEDx speech, she conveys to her audience how important libraries are to their communities. She explains that not only do libraries help young children develop literacy skills through library programming and print collections that improve their performance in school and ultimately lead to better jobs, but they also change people’s lives by providing resources and programs that support social mobility. Eastell explains that libraries are the very definition of Heteropia. Meaning that libraries are a magical place of transformation, possibility, and inclusivity accessible to anyone, anywhere, to help with positive self-growth on any path an individual is taking. Heterotopia is otherwise known as the library (TEDx Talks, 2019).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
