@kianapouya your thoughts and you reminded me of another key thing from my time in Scotland. We took the bus out to the town of Roslyn and went to Roslyn Chapel. They do not allow any photography inside of the chapel itself, which is filled with beautiful carvings and stone, but they give you a guide so you can look for some of the key carvings…[Read more]

@kianapouya I am so glad you focused on museums. I’ve been all about the museums. We visited last week in Edinburgh and Glasgow. You highlight a really interesting thing from Amsterdam about discouraging photographs in the museum. I actually had a very different experience and I’ve been mowing this over since: I realized, as I was going through…[Read more]

@kianapouya That quote is EVERYTHING! So glad you highlighted it and reminded me why I added that reading. Such great thoughts on why libraries should seek to take care of the whole person!

@claireburke Right on target with your ideas and thoughts related to the book banning module. I know there are concerted efforts for folks to put in book challenges for the Bible as a way to point out the hypocrisy of what the very organized book ban groups are doing across the US. Home of the free is right – it needs to stay that way!

@claireburke So appreciate this reflection on belonging and getting up to dance. It resonates.
I will date myself by saying I recall Leo Sayer making the rounds on TV shows when his songs were super popular!

@crlhayd This was so interesting — especially having returned from Scotland with memories of six different museums I visited. There were so many amazing experiences provoked by art or by interaction with objects, or a display. I so appreciate all the ways we can extend our visits and participate! )I came very close to becoming a “friend” of the…[Read more]

@michael I absolutely love this idea – it is so creative and cool! As an extension, the library could also host board game nights and have people bring their homemade board games. So fun!
@inabookbind Super cool idea!
