It is amazing what we can learn from global libraries, and you provided really interesting examples of how libraries are evolving to become multi-service resource hubs. I was especially intrigued by how libraries are incorporating nature into their spaces. Having access to green spaces is important for our health, but they can be hard…Read more

This is such an important topic, and I agree it is essential that library staff evaluate their own biases and ensure they are treating everyone fairly and free of judgment. As you mentioned, libraries should be safe spaces where everyone feels welcomed. Unfortunately, in my time working at libraries I have encountered co-workers,…Read more

I agree with your statement that teens should be given a voice in the planning of teen programs and spaces, and feel empowered to share their opinions. Unfortunately, in some libraries, teens are seen more as a nuisance by staff and avoided. In the library I currently work at, this is sadly the case with our teen patrons. When a group…Read more
