Here’s my symposium post: https://287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/themissinglink/2026/08/05/hyperlinked-symposium-where-im-going/

I called it “Where I’m Going” as, in line with some of our major themes, I wanted to embrace the idea of infinite learning and continuous self-reflection.

I liked what you said about how telling a story can empower the storyteller. Often we seem to focus on the listener – how can the listener learn and grow based on the storyteller’s experiences (assuming they are listening well!). But I agree that storytelling can also be powerful from the teller’s perspective.

The compilation of participatory storytelling services across libraries was really cool to see. I recently went to an “immersive storytelling escape room” experience in LA that walked you through an imaginary woman’s memories. At the end, there was a room where we could write down a memory that we could still…Read more

I think many folks’ initial reaction to moving an in-person program online might be negative, but given that participation has doubled, it’s clearly a positive change for the community!

I live in LA and find that accessibility (in terms of ease of transportation) is a major barrier for many folks to access areas outside their direct environment. This is true even for me, and I’m in a privileged position of having access to a car and funds for current gas prices. I wonder how technology will…Read more
