I love this post! My children are also neurodivergent and it is lovely to see how the needle of inclusivity is moving.

Congratulations, @francesmorovat! I think we were in the same section. I still cannot believe it’s done.

I’m pretty sure I have only seen it once in my life. If I’ve even seen it all the way through? It was one of those movies that sometimes played on Saturday afternoons on TV when I was young but then became hard to find when I got old enough to be interested.

That does sound intriguing. Sort of a riff along the theme of Same Time, Next Year. A movie that I sadly cannot seem to find anywhere.

@matilda I saw that movie when it came out. I was 13! Perhaps too young but I loved the story!

And wow…it is elusive. Only thing I can find is the DVD: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CNRBG/?tag=broadwaywor01-20

@matilda That is perfect! Cheap DVD player and a library DVD! I so appreciated the them song for STNY. It was nominated for an Oscar.

@michael What is that about? I see it advertised but I don’t know the premise.

@matilda I don’t want to give too much away, but it is a story of a couple that meet on the night of graduation from the University of Edinburgh and the time they spend together over the years. It’s called one day because every episode takes place on the same date in a different year.

@matilda. This:
“Do you feel safe?” — the librarian had something she wanted me to know: “I don’t care if a person is rich or poor or homeless, Black or white or gay or whatever. I’m here to help everybody.
Well said.

I had really wanted to do this while I was in the program but the timing never worked out.

@michael This is a fantastic idea! Our local library sometimes does “teen lock-ins” at night where they play games and other organized activities and evidently have a lot of candy, but to my knowledge they’ve incorporated a read-a-thon component.

It would be, for sure. Can you imagine if people could use Door Dash to order their library books??

@jeanna Agreed. I love this. Although perhaps more labor intensive than providing multiple packages to the post office for shipping, which is probably limited by staffing budgets.

Regarding your comment about libraries needing to be accessible, our library has just started a new program for our shut-ins. It is called “Library by Mail. Patrons can request items using the online catalog, or by phone, and their selections are packaged in a reusable canvas bag and mailed directly to them – for free. The checkout due dates are longer because of the time it takes to receive the package. They use the same bag to return the items with the return label included. Although there are exceptions, like no oversized books, and only 5 items at a time, I think this is a great service to our shut-ins.

Library by mail is a system wide program for all Mendocino County Libraries.

I don’t know why not. It would take so doing to get cars (or bikes) and delivery staff, but it would be a great service.

@matilda, I love your post. It is focused, articulate and provides lots of apt examples. I was looking for inspiration for my next post and found it in yours! Thank you. I love the idea of libraries shifting the traditional paradigm on its head.

Hi, Mathilda! I wanted to comment and say thank you for putting into words the concept that transforming the physical space of a library is also a transformation of the social structure within it. I think we can root a lot of this hierarchical upheaval to the way library spaces are actively thinking about accessibility of information. The more ease with which a user can access the library and its materials, the more agency they have over the library and its materials. This is where I think the strength of Klinenberg’s visionary conception of the future really lies – it’s thinking about the whole picture, every moving cog, and recognizing that even the smallest little nut and bolt is contributing to the movement of the machine – or, in this case, the movement of information.

I love the poetic way you’ve described this! Klinenberg’s thoughts are so inspiring and I completely agree.
