Thanks Cesar, I sent you a DM.

My five takeaways wrapped up in pretty packaging:

Hey Cesar,

Beautiful report – I really love the design. And, as much as I love libraries as libraries, I do also love the way bookstore setups often allow for serendipitous discoveries. In some ways, I think […]

What a timely topic, Bekah, and very beautifully done. I appreciate the point about self-care being insufficient. And while I agree that trainings for how to deal with difficult patrons is crucial, I’ve also been […]

My Inspiration Report is about using escape rooms in academic libraries to orient students to the available resources. Escape rooms – where groups of people are locked in a room and must solve a series of p […]

This is really interesting to me as well. Microlearning seems to be a good fit for a culture of busy people who still want to learn new things. Breaking that learning down into bite-size pieces might be a way to […]

@michael Not totally sure of my schedule that weekend, but I think Saturday midday would work for me.

This is such a great idea. In my experience, offering kids (especially teens) the chance to be in charge is so empowering and often results in solutions that the adults hadn’t even dreamed of. Of course the kids […]

What a cool idea! One of the aspects of this project that I love is that it can be tied into to so many parts of the curriculum at all different grade levels. Cooking, gardening, ecology, climate change, biology, […]

What a lovely idea – and yes, it does feel much needed at the moment. I think so many kids could use a space like that as they navigate re-entry into in-person school and a return to so-called normalcy. I also […]

I appreciate so much of what Anythink is doing and feel that they are really pushing the boundaries of traditional libraries to meet the needs of their communities. One thing that struck me as I read their […]
