Hi Laurel, I agree. I hope this momentum keeps on going and gains more and more support so that neurodiversity is normalized.

Hi Jeanna, Totally a game changer. I was really touched by the determination by the organization to step up and include everyone and encourage a safe space without any judgement.

Hi, Christie – first of all, congrats on your pending graduation! I wanted to comment and say how much I appreciate the way you phrased the sentence “… this formula provides us with infinite successes…” I like how you’ve reimagined success in Professor Stephen’s equation not as the product but as a mere factor of experience; I find that the notion that success isn’t the measure by which we assess our lives is both relieving and endlessly– infinitely, you might say – more fulfilling that judging worth based on what comes after the equals sign. Thank you for your post!

@michael This library is absolutely stunning. It’s a space I would definitely go to if I lived there.
I love the “If you liked…” book suggestions and how it’s displayed and how the information is sourced. Same goes for the Library of Things and how it’s displayed in a similar way. Very cool. It’s like you’re shopping but it’s all free…[Read more]

OMG! Yay! I’ve been following the process of SFPL Strategic Plan for over a year now. It’s been a process for them and it’s been really interesting watch some of the board meetings and see what it takes to create a new strategic plan. I’ve learned so much, behind the scenes kind of stuff (thanks to YouTube SFPL board meetings). I’ve been too busy…[Read more]

That’s really special. Thank you so much for sharing. My husband is autistic/ADHD and yes, even for adults the whole experience can be just too much; that room at the back to go have the meltdown and then come back is a GAME CHANGER.

@christines The sensory friendly Nutcracker ballet is a wonderful find. This was interesting to find out about. It is amazing how things are changing for those who need alternative options.

@christines thank you so much for sharing this story. Kylie Carlson’s presentation at Library 2.0 and at Next Library in 2019 was so moving. Yours was a s well.

I’ve never been the type of person to attend those kinds of events, but I remember when I went to church there was a small quiet area for people with children separated by a glass window. I never realized that can be a safe space for people who can’t handle the big crowds or louder parts of the church. They can still listen in with speakers, but I always assumed it was just where the loud kids went. When I was younger I didn’t understand some people could’ve needed that kind of space.

I love this post! My children are also neurodivergent and it is lovely to see how the needle of inclusivity is moving.

Hi Christine. I really enjoyed looking through your innovation report. I love the idea of libraries being a partner in being responsible stewards of our environment. One area that your report made me think about was the ongoing excessive food waste in our country, while so many people are going hungry. I did a quick search and found out that many libraries are indeed involved in addressing food inequity, an area which may be of an interest to you: https://www.governing.com/now/public-libraries-step-up-to-help-as-food-insecurity-rises#:~:text=Almost%20half%20of%20the%2017%2C496,sources%20of%20affordable%20fresh%20food. I love how libraries are stepping up to do such important work in our communities.

Thank you! Your link was very interesting to read. I love that Marin Food Bank is able to support those experiencing food insecurities in SF. I also read about college students and issues surrounding food insecurity on campus throughout America. Maybe SFPL can come up with a program that addresses food insecurity and provide resources and solutions for those in need. Just brainstorming and this might be more academic library related but something like college students can help assist with Food Banks or Community Outreach programs and receive job training skills, college credit and access to meals and/or food preparation services.

@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.

Hi Christine,
Thank you for your insights on using nature and technology to create positive feelings for the user. Hunt library is such a beautiful space, and I love that nature is an integral part of the library design. I love the idea of solar powered benches to provide access to wi-fi and library resources. Thank you for highlighting these libraries.

@christines Cool video! I can see all the ideas you gathered from the module woven into the media. Love the idea of easy access to tech and OUTLETS!

I love the idea of having the concept of “The Library Cafe.” In my library, we have a teen room,, and it fits like a library cafe too. I just think that having a dedicated space for groups of people is always great to have. As kids get out of school, libraries become a haven for individuals who feel insecure, being safe, or a setting where they are the same.
