We have a small staff (me, a full-time assistant, and a part-time assistant) so coffee and conversation may not always happen, but that is a neat idea. We also welcome the public into our academic library and so this would be a unique collaborative space for that to take place in.

You got to read stories that most people have not heard and from a community that needs to be heard. I love that this was a passion project and that it was taken care of with such care and respect.

It would encourage all sorts of creativity and engagement in our student body. The nice thing is that we would keep all the words positive and encouraging to help others build confidence. The power of positivity!

It is definitely something that I wouldn’t mind attending and learning about the people around me.

Sometimes the idea of sitting on the floor is absolutely intimidating. Sometimes if I sit on the floor too long I can’t get up very well, so I may have to read that book to see what I am doing wrong.

I think of the diverse student body at my college and what we could learn from one another including faculty and staff.

Simple signs that are colorful and eye-catching not attracts teens, but adults as well. We also need to think about accessibility of signage for our colorblind population as well. Trying to achieve both can be tricky, but we don’t want anyone to feel left out.

I had generally gone to IHeartRadio and listened to The Piano Guys, but this has given me something else to help me focus and drown out the background noise.

For a small library, we try to maximize what we can. It’s really nice having all the windows. It kind of resembles a snow globe in the winter. LOL!
