So glad I made it! Thanks @michael. @hcanfield I saw your Flickr link and can’t wait to share it w/ the children’s librarian at my branch! Maybe you can share it w/ the class b/c it is so cool.

I’m really excited for this and will be a little late b/c of an appt, but very much hope to attend! If I can’t, I will definitely listen later!

@sarahtyler Yes, I totally hear you! I also always tried to be aware of my kids who needed more quiet and, even though first and second graders can be quite loud, I would try to cultivate moments of calm and peace […]

Hi @karen ! Thanks for commenting! Before working in libraries, I taught elementary school for over a decade. In my experience there are far more extroverts in elementary school teaching than in the library world! […]

Hi @kristinspencer05 ! Thanks for commenting. I appreciate it, and I also appreciate that Cain notes that we introverts often love extroverts! It would be so great if there really were flexible spaces in more […]

@mosminwoo Hi Mao! Thanks so much for commenting. I totally hear you–when I talk to people one on one or in small groups they usually don’t assume I’m an introvert. But at a large party–I am often silent! 🙂 […]

Hi @jlynnfred — what an awesome post! I loved reading about Cognitive Surplus, and your review makes me want to read this book.

@michael and @lisasemenza thanks for commenting! Ya…the library is so beautiful and amazing. It would be amazing if so much thought and care was put into the design of all schools in our country, from colleges […]

Hi @ddedwards5 ! Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I know–the space looks unbelievable. I hope I get to visit someday too. How far is it for you via flying or driving?
I’m glad you enjoyed UX too! […]

Hi @mosminwoo ! Thanks for such an interesting post. That story that Shirky chose to lead with is fascinating. It is certainly a prescient story for our current climate. Social networking has had quite an effect […]

Hi @tsanford! Thanks for sharing your book review. What an amazing post. You are a terrific and engaging writer. I love the idea of the LA PLay kits–that is so cool. I also love the way you tied Godin’s ideas to […]

Hi @silvawhite ! Thanks for commenting. I hope everyone in your family is feeling totally 100% now.
Your 2 anecdotes are so interesting! You must be excellent at reading aloud to your little ones. I’m impressed […]

@abenford thanks! It is a really fantastic book, I think! I so enjoyed rereading it. I had a former boss whose father was also really into Toastmasters, and I think it also informed my boss’s leadership style, […]

Introverts have so much to offer the world, such as deeply connecting with people and ideas and self-control!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful Winter! Look at those gorgeous trees. And the crunch-crunch of the snow under your feet. I love. Here it’s gray and rain rain rain. Does Coop play in the snow?!

@sarahtyler I also love this post and I love Fitz! What a good and sweet baaaby! I love how you turned a possible change in plans into a positive and made sure your students know you’re there to support them. […]

That is so fun/cool! I love it!
