Olivia! This was so good! Great job! I know it is not possible, but wouldn’t it be great if Michael could use this as a link in the course description to help people understand what this class has to offer?
I especially appreciated your interpretation of what library spaces mean to you. “. . .ultimately libraries aren’t just about learning, i…[Read more] -

What a lovely post and what a fun adventure to learn about your indigenous roots. I am sure it has been rewarding to learn of your ancestors by doing, by working with your hands. I am interested in the storytelling while basket weaving. I know many tribes tell stories through intricate pictures on their baskets. When you speak of telling stories,…[Read more]

Same here. I watched a few those YouTube videos made by the teen librarian assistant in New Hampshire and they are so great. I wish I new about them a few years ago. Now they are off on their own doing god knows what!

Teenagers Get Messy in the Library: Not Your Mama's Home Ec Class
Home economics, once one of the main elective course options available to teenagers in the United States, has gone by the wayside in […]-
Great post! Once upon a time I think I applauded the demise of the home ec classes, which were generally almost exclusively directed towards girls and young women. But now that I have teenagers, I often find myself overwhelmed by the fact that I have no help in teaching them basic kitchen life skills. I love libraries are finding ways to fill that void! I hope they branch out to shop classes next.

Hi Emily,
This was an interesting blog post. Even back when I was in high school a million years ago, my school had a cooking class elective, but not traditional home ec. I was interested in fashion design and wanted to learn how to sew better. For my senior year my school tried to have a sewing class (which I signed up for), but sadly not enough people signed up so the class was cancelled. I was really disappointed at the time.I think there is still a ton of interest in this type thing and wish there were more opportunities for teens and kids. The library filling this need is an awesome idea.

Jeanna,
I just perused your inspiration report. You did such a great job! Thank you for providing us all with a great example. I appreciated how well thought out your plan was, even down to factoring in liability issues and providing solutions.

Wow! Now that is what I call a Strategic Plan!! It is so informative and engaging. I love that library system. I took my daughter and her best friend to the one in Chinatown just a few weeks ago. Very welcoming and lots of services in a tiny little library. Plenty of computers, comfy chairs, and an awesome scanner for anyone to use with clear…[Read more]

I loved this! You always seem to bring the reader back to the big picture of this shared human experience and the need for understanding and compassion. Thank you for the book recommendation, “Far from the Tree.” When I have more time to do reading outside of the program, I will take a look. I am also going to pass it on to a parent at…[Read more] -

Oh, the prison commissioner comment rings very true. I know people who have worked in prisons for their entire careers (including one who was the social worker leading therapy groups) who have never once expressed any semblance of compassion or care for the men in their custody. I love that this could open eyes to the real humans they work with every day.

@emmizo A most powerful post about some very important stories. Thank you!

@emmizo Thank you for this beautifully written post about this incredible podcast. I started listening to Ear Hustle during the first Spring of the pandemic when I was spending a lot of time in my new backyard vegetable garden. I was blown away by the stories and the humanity of it all. A lot of tears watered my vegetables, to be sure.
On a lighter side, I like to cook and loved the episode with the Ear Hustle Cook Off! And I don’t think it’s in an episode, but I also enjoyed that chef/author Samin Nosrat helped Earlonne rework his Chicken and Rice recipe in the NY Times after he was released from San Quentin.

@emmizo This is lovely:
” I dearly hope no one ever told them their dreams were impossible.”
Thanks for this vivid recollection of you dreaming at the public library.

Hi Emely,
Great work on DocsTeach. I was unaware of their existence, but they seem an excellent tool for improving education in any school district. I’m exploring the website, and I will definitely use some of their activities. Thanks for Sharing

I absolutely loved this journey you took us on through different cozy library-themed bars and actual cozy libraries across the country. I live in Sacramento, so I could investigate the books to see if they are functional or just chosen for aesthetics! I have had the chance to sneak into The Reading Room in New York. I don’t know if I would call…[Read more]
