-
@lauraw Lovely and effective takeaways for both this course, and for life in general! As an aside, I didn’t know it was possible to create something like this in google slides.. I will have to go explore that more! I also had a lot of trouble figuring out how to edit videos to add audio at the right places, but I figured hey, it’s time to put my words into action, and embrace that lifelong learning thing we talked about so much! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!
-
Exactly! Ugh, it nearly broke me in the end though. Do you know of any presentation sites that can embed audio music files into the slide deck?? (I’m thinking my struggles may have been due to permissions). Anyway, it was frustrating. Thank you for taking the time to check out my presentation and I’ve enjoyed chatting with you and getting to see your amazing ideas this semester! Best of luck!

Lauren, I listened to your selected song as I swiped through your presentation and had a great time – especially with the embedded videos and fun animations. Thank you for all of your reflections and sharing your insights and expertise this semester!

Thank you for taking the time to check it out, Ciera!

Libraries: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)We discussed this in our chat this afternoon. Give it a watch if you can! (Note: language!)
-
Amazing. Perfect thing to watch while I drink my Sunday morning coffee.
-
My husband told me about this, and I have been meaning to watch! I finally did yesterday. Thank you for sharing! Definitely worth a watch and made me chuckle!
-
I watched it yesterday as soon as I saw this post. Love it. The way John Oliver covers every theme with his sense of humor is sublime.
-
It is a sad that we have to defend people’s right to read, but John Oliver did a great job of talking about the seriousness of this problem, mixed with humor.

Hi, Alina! This is a great reflection. I’m so curious about your colleague’s experience – I think I would also get frustrated trying to teach the ins and outs of electronics to kids, which makes me appreciate even more my computer teacher from elementary school that taught me to type. On my campus where I work, we have a separate STEAM lab where students do makerspace activities, and the library (where I am) is just for books and reading. I’ll have to recommend my own coworker to try out doing an escape room, that sounds so cool and constructive! Thank you for this post!
-
Hi Mj, we were having a pretty casual conversation (with a bit of venting) but there’s definitely a few other factors and stressors that led to his “experience.” And I can relate, sometimes it gets to a point where it feels like you’re doing the same thing again and again. The repetition makes you feel like you’re stuck or that you’re not growing. You want to be creative and innovative with the service and programs that you provide and switch things up, but there might not be enough time or support to do so.
We are also in a system that is very supportive of staff development. This may means that our title may not be indicative of all the work that we do. Sometimes, we end up stretched in multiple directions and it can be a stressor.
Regarding the escape room, yes! It is a lot of fun to set-up

Hi MJ,
We all can relate to what you describe how Library workers need to have a smile at all times. I’m a believer that is impossible and not healthy having that approach at all times. Like everyone in life we have good/bad days, for that reason for me Respect is primordial and doing your work with a smile is a plus but not mandatory.-
Hi Rodrigo,
I believe you are responding to my post. There are various factors and societal exceptions that impact the way we are expected to act or behave when working with the public. I do agree with you however, that everyone has good days and bad days. What’s most important is to remain professional and as you noted, respectful.

Hi @ysalina,
I’m glad to hear that the library was also a third place for you growing up! Reading your experiences unlocked a core memory for me in the children’s section– I remember I knew exactly where my favorite writers and genres were located, but your mention of adaptions made me think of a “choose your own adventure” book that I recall borrowing multiple times when I was younger because it was just that good. For the price of one, you get like maybe four or five different stories (sadly, there were only two endings…)-
I remember those books as well! They were these small paperbacks and I always had the urge to go through every choice to reach every ending possible.
