As a newbie/just-starting DND (thanks to my tween son!), I really appreciate your connection between TTRPGs and storytelling. One key I think you really hit on for your program is including teens as well as adults. Fostering intergenerational connections are so important, and TTRPGs are a fantastic way for players to learn…Read more

I have not seen these communication boards before. What an amazing way to ensure inclusion for those who may have trouble communicating. It also serves as a reminder to us as library professionals when dealing with the public or our students that communication needs and challenges vary from person to person.

I love the sentiment that our story never ends. In the world of librarianship, it is so true. I was reminiscing today with a friend about visiting our local libraries as kids (this was back in the 80s/90s) and, while books were king and there was fun programming running year round, all of those “extras” we see in libraries…Read more

I love the idea of StoryWalks, and I think you covered all the important points to justify a need within the community.

I just wanted to touch on the need for creative and relaxing spaces. Especially in a time where we are so often connected to some device or screen, I agree wholeheartedly that we need more of these passive spaces that encourage students / patrons to unwind for a bit and just be in “a moment”. It’s interesting to observe that…Read more

I liked your reflections on these two topics. Summer reading resonated with me because, as many of us are, we are currently full steam ahead in our summer reading programs and events.

I really enjoyed your post, especially the distinction between solitude and loneliness. In my own personal and academic experiences, I agree completely that solitude is so important for us to be with ourselves in the sense of personal growth: as you stated, “letting [people] be who they are”. As humans, we absolutely need social…Read more
