@michael, this link is not working for me
-
@emmizo What link?
-
@michael, sorry, the three purple dots in brackets after the word “Post” do not expand
-
@emmizo Not understanding… where exactly?
-
@michael I am sorry for the hassle. From my perspective in Site-wide Activity, the Share and Symposium post has an ellipses after you write “please share your URL here. Post [. . .]” The brackets are purple and should expand and it does not for me. The rest of the message is not there. I hope this helps.
-
The “Share & Submit Your Symposium!” link is not working either; I guess that is the same one.
-
@emmizo That is the weirdest thing. It is a bad link to a long gone web site for the class. This is the place to share your post and then submit to Canvas. I will look into that weird link deal.

From Site Formerly Known as Twitter: LIS Jobs Advice for New Grads
This week I'm asking people who hire library and LIS workers: We are nearing Spring graduation time. What advice do you have for new MLIS holders? I'm thinking both about their first post-MLIS job hunt, and in future career moves?

@Michael, I love that you refer to it as the “Site Formerly Known as…” 😂
It’s an interesting quandary–I wonder myself about what my next move will be after I receive the degree, but also hold in reverence the knowledge that things almost always do not turn out the way I envision or plan for them to.
-
🤣
Yes – it is a journey with the potential for twists and turns.

A theatre and a cinema in one venue? Plus a restaurant and a library? Those are almost all my favorite things in one spot. Add a bookstore and some furry friends and I’d never leave.

This is really amazing. Seeing so many malls closing, spaces like those can be repurposed for community/arts centers like this one. I love it. I bet the later hours might be welcoming for people looking for a space to study, connect and relax before it’s time to head home and go to bed.

Sorry I will have to miss this one. I work both days, my lunch break however is at noon (PT) both days!
-
I am very sorry, that I will miss the chat. I will be visiting my mom & aunt for Mother’s Day.
-
I also will not be able to join on these days. I work Saturdays and will be out with my mom on Sunday the 12th.
-
I will be able to attend either – but likely will attend on Saturday the 11th!
-
@Michael, I can make the 11th! (Taking my daughter to her first concert on Mother’s Day–can’t think of a better way to celebrate 😁😏).
-
May 11th sounds great! I’d really enjoy a class social.
-
Pretty sure I can do the 11th! It would be a nice way to wrap up the semester 🙂

The 11th works for me!

Inspiration: Hiring a Social Worker at Des Moines PLAnd:
“They will be able to help our community with issues like housing and shelter, food insecurity, medical needs, whatever their needs are a social worker has special skills designed to match up their needs with the resources in their community" https://t.co/4Swzx6IJ7T

@michael. Thank you for sharing this! In my research for the inspiration report, I found this map of social work and library collaborations https://wholepersonlibrarianship.com/map/ and was pleasantly surprised to see a large number of libraries collaborating with social workers.
-
@royaflin That is so cool!
-
-
The library system I work for recently opened a new position and hired two Community Outreach Specialists, which is similar to a social worker. They help patrons in the library by connecting them to resources, as well as go out into the community and partner with other organizations. The COS at the library I work for is starting a partnership with second harvest to organize monthly food distribution to a local migrant center. She has been such an asset to our library and community!

Inspiration Report- Hopeful Futures: Contra Costa County Library as a Social Prescription Hub for Foster Youth Here is the link to my inspiration report:
-
Nice, @royaflin! Your report is so full of research and well-thought out. It highlights an important need that libraries can help to fill.
-
@lauraw Thank you so much! This was a labor of love for me. My husband and I worked as weekend parents for a group home in our college years, and the experience stuck with me. We ended up fostering and adopting three children, later in life. I learned so much doing the research for this project and much of it resonated with my personal experience.
-
Hi, Roya! As a librarian in Contra Costa, I just want to commend you for what a fantastic concept you’ve presented here. How much you care about foster youth really shines in the effort you’ve put forth in this project. Your contextual information and the statistics therein really blew me away, and underscored the need for the program you’ve designed. It’s amazing how much social interfacing and assessment I do with my students on a daily basis as a librarian for TK-5; the trust they have in us for what we do translates naturally to the type of work a social worker designing programming for the library could also do to make a change. Excellent idea, and excellent work!
-
Hi Roya, thank you so much for creating this report. I’ve learned so much about the challenges in the U.S. foster system, and I can really see how libraries can become safe havens of connection and stability for youth in the system.
-
Thank you @royaflin for this exceptional blog post! Your research is astounding and the statistics are sobering. I first learned about social workers in the library way back in INFO 200 and it seems like such a natural partnership to link library services and social services. Your report is excellent in pointing out the challenges but also the opportunities! I really like the idea of peer navigators. Although I have no personal experience with foster youth, I would imagine that trust is a big concern. Connecting with similar youth seems like an important aspect of any successful program. I hope you are able to get a program like this started in real life!
Impressive work. Thank you so much for sharing it!
-
@royaflin, this report was very eye opening. Your “Hopeful Futures” project is a great way to show how libraries can help young people in foster care in new and important ways. It is a great connection to social services that we are seeing more and more with libraries. Thank you for all of the work you put into this.
