Very cool, and beautiful photos! Hope you’re having fun!

@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,…[Read more]

Kiana, I really enjoyed reading your post and I agree with you on so many levels. We all want to expand our services and provide programs to help our patrons expand their knowledge, but it’s also important to focus on basic needs as well. We can do this by supplying food pantries or free clothing. We can also provide pamphlets and information…[Read more]

@arthurkolat Thank you for sharing Perusall! I have never heard of this website, but I love the idea of everyone getting to annotate together and share stories, pictures, and ideas throughout. What a fun concept! It’s like a very interactive online book club, and I can’t wait to use this and share with others. Also, I love that you made a video.…[Read more]

@terribeth I agree, and I’ve noticed many librarians have great ideas but aren’t sure how to implement them or where to start. It’s always a good idea to start with the community and just simply ask them what they are looking for or what they would actually like to take part in, and then making those things or activities as accessible as possible.

I really enjoyed reading your post and you have some really thought-provoking ideas. I have also thought about this a lot – how the children’s programs get packed while the adult programs usually do not have many in attendance. I think this is in large part due to the library needing to reach out more, online and in person – making these services…[Read more]

@claireburke I love this post! I also love the idea of giving rewards for returning books early or on time, instead of punishing for being late. There should also be rewards for those who may not have returned the book, but rechecked it out in the proper way and in timely fashion – because not everyone reads at the same speed. I love many of the…[Read more]

Hello @catladylilia ,

It’s so funny because most of us in this field are introverts, yet most of our positions require us to face and interact with the public regularly. But like you, I do it because of how important libraries and librarians have been to me throughout my life. I was actually watching the Matilda movie the other day and I…[Read more]

@louis Congratulations on your new baby, that is so awesome! I also just binged the Alien movies and went to see Romulus in theaters – and it was SO GOOD and did not disappoint. Also, that’s so exciting that you just started GoT. GoT is my favorite show and is so epic. I hope you have fun watching it!

The bottom right picture is just too precious!

Hi Bethany! I really enjoyed your video, it was very beautiful and calming. I look forward to getting to know you more throughout the course!

I am currently reading You Like it Darker & Skeleton Crew! Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream in You Like it Darker was soooo good.

Hi Sara! You seem to be a busy human accomplishing a lot of great things! Also, you have two beautiful children and I wish them the best with school, as it can be hard starting high school or middle school.

I see that you like romance novels, which I usually don’t gravitate towards, but there have been some that I love. One of my favorites was…[Read more]
