@deniseml It would be be amazing if my local public library expanded their hours and had something like this, then I would probably use the facilities more. My schedule is so busy with school and two jobs, and sometimes it’s just hard to make it there. It would also be nice to see some of the group activities and workshops provided at later hours, for people like myself. I always want to attend them and find so many of them interesting, but my schedule doesn’t allow me to attend. (Side note: I love the Rupaul pic and reference!)

Denise, I love this idea and our library system has looked at it before. While there certainly is a cost for technology to upgrade one of our branches to allow for this, it certainly is a way to meet the needs of customers at all hours of the day and night. 🙂 It is a great way to be able to offer our services at more hours without the cost of staffing.

@deniseml Sorry for missing this last week!

I am loving the example from mesa, AZ and will add it to the module. I am all about the idea of access to the branch and the video chat option for questions.

Hi, Denise! Your cats are beautiful. I’m very sorry about your Muska.

@deniseml Such sweet photos. I am sorry about Muska. It is the hardest part of the journey with a pet. Thanks for sharing the pics and insights. Welcome to #hyperlib!

Hello Denise,

I have worked as an elementary school library assistant, too! Although my title was technically a media center assistant, it was essentially the same responsibilities, I would handle tech, too. I LOVED that job, unfortunately it was only offered as a part time position. I was, for all intents and purposes, a children’s librarian in that position as I am sure you were, too.
