@christines you included some amazing photos in this post about various information environments, and what is possible with technology. I’ve always found the hunt library model to be so impressive. The self guided Trail application via a QR code is super cool. QR codes have come a long way.

@lauraw Lovely post, I really enjoyed the background music option. What a great idea! I enjoy your manner of storytelling in the blog posts. I strive to be more of a story teller, but I always wind up being more on the scholarly side. But that is kind of why I am in this class, to learn how to craft my social media voice.
-
Why thank you, @emmizo! I love music and always have it going (much to my husband’s chagrin sometimes).
-
-
Ha ha ha! Yeah, I would have music on nonstop if I had my druthers. But I seem to have misplaced my druthers as of late!
-
Funny how that happens 😏…

Hi Laura,
Love love LOVE this. I’m doing study abroad this summer (14 days, 28 GLAM organizations) for this exact reason.
The first time I went to Paris, I lived on pain au jambon — ham sandwiches — the whole time. Food in Paris is so much better when you have both a more mature palatte and money, so yes — get the escargot and the truffles this time. Well worth the wait.
-
Thank you and OMG, how fun and amazing! Where are you going to be?
I did study abroad in college for 5 weeks in London–it was a Theater and Philosophy program and we got to go see a play that we studied each week. It was way too short!
You are adventurous with your palette–I’d definitely try escargot but in the right circumstances and avec du vin!
-
-
Laura, Wonderful post and love the reflections as a kid just wanting to do kid stuff. Also, I would jump at the chance of taking a library adventure to Denmark, Dokk1. I’ll sign up with you!

Thank you, Christine, for the understanding and kind comments! Yuk yuk yuk : p

Sign me up for that field trip!

Let’s go!! ; )

@lauraw I love this post. My husband and I did this to our oldest child, as we took 6 months to travel throughout Europe in our 20s. My daughter got to attend part of her kindergarten year in Amsterdam where my husband was doing his law internship. We spent the time visiting France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Czech Republic. We dragged our poor kid along with us everywhere! I love this idea of going on a library tour to visit and learn how international libraries approach their work (my book group had already fantasized about this idea). Thanks for sharing this post!
-
Thank you, @roya! Wow, that is so cool and great that you guys took that time to take advantage of world travel and share that with your daughter. How did she feel about it?
-
-
Hi Laura, she appreciates it now as an adult, but I think it was a bit rough on her as a 5 year old .. She did become quite adept at making quick friendships. there were humorous moments where she would be talking in English to other kids who spoke other languages. yet they managed to figure out how to play together.
-
Yes! I have a story about that too. When we were at this German campground, I was playing on the slide with another little girl (we must’ve been 6 also) who only spoke German. But we figured out that we could each count to 10 in the other’s language, so we would take turns standing at the top of the slide, counting to 10 in German for me, English for her and then laughing and sliding down. 😁

-
@lauraw I ❤️ this so much!
The picture of you on the funicular was delightful. Thank you for that.
I really appreciate what you shared about your travels when you were young. How wonderful and I can see how it can have an impact on you now and also be amazing memories. If I could, I would take us on a field trip to Dokk1 for sure.

Hi Roya,
Wow! What a great job on your reflection. I learned so much and now I want to visit Memphis just to see their libraries. Some key takeaways for me were the hiring of the library director from outside of “Libraryland” and the pop-up storytimes in landromats and clinics. Bringing in ideas from outside of the normal channels really opens up the options for change and progress. And meeting community members where they are with a service they didn’t know they needed is instrumental to trying to reach the patrons that never come through the doors. Thanks so much for your research and your thoughts.
–Maggie

Nice presentation, Roya! You’re right that Memphis PL is one to aspire to. I love all the coursework and references you plugged in. And wow, a PL with a TV and radio station? Whaaa? It’s so funny when we see innovative ideas that are really just challenging the paradigm of what libraries represent for most people. Awesome find and creative post!
-
@royaflin the slide deck was amazing. So much good information and a most engaging look and feel. I really appreciate it that bit where the person said. I found my voice. We need more places where that can happen.

@kauthmeister so many good ideas here. I will hone in on your point about Google glass and your father. I recall sitting across from a library colleague at a conference many years ago and he had glasses on and I thought it was the most off-putting thing.
My hope is that any mobile application we create or any online web-based application we create will still be human centered and focused.

What in the world? That tree/bench/bookcase is the coolest ever! My dad is a tree trimmer and loves books so I sent him a picture. I went to the link in the caption, but there wasn’t any information as to where one can find this masterpiece. Do you have any idea where this is located?

I have discovered the tree with books is on facebook. The email linked below the picture. I hope this was helpful.

I had somehow missed the 250-300 word limit for the reflection blogs. I am wondering if I should be condensing this blog to turn in at the end of the semester.

@royaflin There is no ;limit on word copunt…just a minimum 250-300 words. You are just fine. Students usually7 write more when inspired.

@lauraw Nice to read this clearing house of what’s happening in the book banning adjacent space. What really troubles me is the division between what is happening in some states and what is happening in others. It hurts my heart to think about the young people that can’t experience the stories they should be able to as they grow.
