@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.

Hi Emily!
Sorry for my late reply to your kind and thoughtful post. I guess I really took a break over Spring Break! I love your ideas for additional incentives for kids to come into the library at lunchtime — especially the idea for them to have control of a display. They would love that! And thanks for the video of the eSports at the Cleveland…[Read more] -

@michael You can see from the date of this post that I got a bit behind and am just now catching up on my readings/viewings! Your comments about telling stories with emojis and other formats reminded me that there was a book that was written in the 1990’s entirely from vanity license plates in California. I did a quick Google search and found it…[Read more]

Yes, thanks for checking in @michael! It’s Spring Break for my work school so I’ve got a chance to slow down and catch up. It is much needed these days. The fluid due dates for this class are really a help but I still want to stay on top of the schedule. May will be a very busy month for me so I need to not fall behind! Thank you.

Thanks Roya! We do have students who make the daily announcements and they definitely get excited about it. Also, I worked with a few students interested in podcasting when we were online during COVID but I think I made it too complicated. I was learning myself and trying to find ways to engage these kids from home but it fizzled out. After…[Read more]

Hi Roya,
Thanks for your illuminative thoughts on New Horizons for libraries. I really appreciate the way you applied the ACRL’s framework to thinking about ChatGPT. I have been actively avoiding ChatGPT but need to get my head out of the sand and accept that it will be part of our digital lives from now on. Your perspective provides a good entry…[Read more] -

This program is fantastic! And it was expanded last year to include hiking backpacks that you can check out too. They contain binoculars, nature guides, a compass, and a local parks map.
Here’s a link to the press release:

Hi Maggie,
What a wonderful idea! As a parent volunteer, I helped 6th graders write a monthly newsletter about their school community. I loved the energy and level of engagement from the kids. I think podcasting would be an even more attractive tool for middle schoolers (I seem to remember much excitement when kids were allowed to make announcements over the PA announcement). I also really appreciated the presentation of your innovation roadmap!

Also, I worked with a few students interested in podcasting when we were online during COVID but I think I made it too complicated. I was learning myself and trying to find ways to engage these kids from home but it fizzled out. After putting together this roadmap, I think it’s doable and much simpler than my first attempt. Looking forward to trying it next school year. As for the presentation, I must thank Canva for offering some really fresh templates this year. I’m pleased you liked it. Thanks!

Hi Roya,
Wow! What a great job on your reflection. I learned so much and now I want to visit Memphis just to see their libraries. Some key takeaways for me were the hiring of the library director from outside of “Libraryland” and the pop-up storytimes in landromats and clinics. Bringing in ideas from outside of the normal channels really opens…[Read more]

@maggierogers what a great topic to cover for this post. You gather some interesting examples to demonstrate the power that comes from information institutions and theatrical entities getting together. Perhaps going forward many public libraries may include performative spaces.

Maggie Rogers commented on the post, Inspiration: Kindness Machine! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, on the site 2 months, 1 weeks ago
This wonderful idea reminds me of a line from Maya Angelou’s poem Continue (which I just learned was written as poem to celebrate Oprah Winfrey’s 50th birthday):
“My wish for you
Is that you continue
Continue
To be who and how you are
To astonish a mean world
With your acts of kindness” -

Hi Christine! Schmidt’s article also stood out to me. My favorite question is “Tell me about a time when you were focused and lost track of time.” In addition to trying to work this into a library survey, I could see this question being used effectively in a reader’s advisory conversation. I’m looking forward to trying it!

Thank you Roya! I’m so glad to know that your son found the library as a place at school that he could feel comfortable with “others.” Origami provides a nice focal point for students who might need to settle themselves down physically and mentally — keeps the mind and the hands busy. I’m always so impressed with the kids who can make those teeny…[Read more]

Thanks so much Ciera! I feel really lucky to be working in a library and going to library school at the same time. Reflecting on my practice and then trying new things is so rewarding. It’s giving me courage to try new things too. I so appreciate your support on this journey!

Hi Emily!
Sorry for my late reply to your kind and thoughtful post. I guess I really took a break over Spring Break! I love your ideas for additional incentives for kids to come into the library at lunchtime — especially the idea for them to have control of a display. They would love that! And thanks for the video of the eSports at the Cleveland Public Library. I really like the wrap-up where he talks about the community building aspect of the program. It’s clear from the video footage that they have created a thriving community of gamers really enjoying their library. So much positive human interaction present there!
And it’s funny that you ask when I eat my lunch…it’s always a struggle and I hate to close the library any time during the school day so I end up eating at the circulation desk AFTER the two lunches are over. I usually get interrupted but no one seems to mind that there’s a plate of food on my desk!
@maggierogers both of your ideas are good ones. I think having one day a week when students could have lunch would be so interesting to try and it might be a very valuable experience to see if something like that could work more than one day a week. Please keep us informed if you try it.
Thanks @michael. I’ll keep you posted!
@maggierogers 👍😀
