That’s so interesting how so much programming at your library seems to be STEM-focused. I can see why libraries would think it important to keep the community informed about new tech, but I do think other modes of play are just as important. In that regard, I do really appreciate my local library because despite being in the…Read more

I loved how your reflection synthesized the various formats and insights explored in this module, by discussing the many ways of how stories are and can be powerful. You proved this point by closing out your reflection with telling your story, which was powerful. Thank you for sharing (and sorry for your loss), it was a small but…Read more

Indeed, I think that sometimes teenagers may a bit reluctant to learn wit their parents, so doing it with a peer and in group in a different space can help. Libraries can be great for that.

Thank you for reading my post.
Aw… I miss the good ole days of Redbox. I agree, today, the “packaging” counts for a lot. That’s why promotion and knowing how to do marketing is so important. Last week I was reading for another class and stumbled on 2 library TikTok videos. The one with the most views did not necessarily…Read more

I’m currently a social worker and my unit only works 4 days (10 hr days) out of the week and of the 4 days we are only in office 1 day a week so we don’t get to meet others in our building from other units that often.

There are zero rules and it can be and look however you want it to. I have some examples from my own junk journal on my about me post and more recently on my innovation roadmap post. It has been a fun and relaxing hobby since I started my journal in the fall of last year. I normally…Read more

I don’t know how you could get around that. I guess maybe if there weren’t many people in the library, someone may feel comfortable enough to go to the section they’re interested in, grab a couple of books, and check them out before other people come into the small space.
