Such an excellent slide show @emmizo! These kiosks are such a great idea and the slide show was such a pleasure to watch. Impressive!

Hi Emily,
I like this idea! I’ve always been fascinated by family history and personal stories. I always joke that I know more about my husband’s family history then he does! 😉
I enjoyed seeing the selection of historical pictures in your layout, it gave a good feel for your idea.

We have a few of these in my neighborhood. The most recent one is one that our local library set up in all the city parks which I thought was really cool

I love the idea of Little Free Libraries! My community is putting up a covered school bus stop and I am going to ask if we can build in a LFL.
-
I love the idea of the “LittleFreeLibrary”. I have seen a couple of them around my area, and often residents just put them up because it is a great way to reuse materials instead of getting rid of them.

I’m so excited by libraries removing the Dewey restrictions and shelving by commercial standards. If I were going to do a thesis instead of a portfolio, writing the book on how to make this transition would be my topic.
-
Yes, I agree! This weekend, I had a patron ask me for help to navigate our non-fiction section which is categorized by the Dewey system. I gave her a form that had the whole system and how it was broken up, but it’s so many numbers to get familiarized, let alone memorize it! While we do have signs with text and pictures next to the numbers so it lets patrons know what section they are viewing, I completely understand the need and want for a system transition!

Olivia! This was so good! Great job! I know it is not possible, but wouldn’t it be great if Michael could use this as a link in the course description to help people understand what this class has to offer?
I especially appreciated your interpretation of what library spaces mean to you. “. . .ultimately libraries aren’t just about learning, it’s about becoming a better person.” So very true. Libraries link us all together.-
@emmizo Thank you, that is fantastic to hear! I really appreciate your feedback, and I had a lot of fun making this I’d honestly be glad to share it with others!

Hi Olivia, Wow, I just love this visual symposium. It is amazing to read. Your creative expression in sharing this assignment is inspiring. Thank you for your gift to this course.

Hi all! Wanted to recommend the TV show “The Artful Dodger” on Disney+ to all my fellow English Literature friends. It’s pretty graphic (takes place in a Victorian hospital) but it’s a very fun reimagining of Dickens’ characters and is set in 19th century Australian colonies. David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) plays Fagin!

Hi, Christie – first of all, congrats on your pending graduation! I wanted to comment and say how much I appreciate the way you phrased the sentence “… this formula provides us with infinite successes…” I like how you’ve reimagined success in Professor Stephen’s equation not as the product but as a mere factor of experience; I find that the notion that success isn’t the measure by which we assess our lives is both relieving and endlessly– infinitely, you might say – more fulfilling that judging worth based on what comes after the equals sign. Thank you for your post!

Hi Mary, I really appreciate your feedback! I was afraid it was a bit too out there so I’m relieved to see that you understood what I was thinking. thank you so much for your support!

You raise fair concerns with your reflections, it’s important to be able to grow along side peers and mentors which marganilized groups may have less access to because of busy schedules or just a lack of public support. Although many libraries assist to connect people with proper resources, that depends on the area soemone lives in. I’d wish that it was a universal statement, but we still need to work to make libraries more inclusive as they are primarily build in better off neighborhoods, or they just don’t get proper funding in poorer areas. I’ve even been warned against working in a certain area due to it being a ‘bad’ area, which is concerning since it creates a feedback loop of not being able to improve the quality of where someone lives.
-
I love that you got up on your soapbox. I want to hear more! Neurodivergent kids get so much negative feedback from the world around them that having a mentor “see” you and your full capabilities can be life-changing. It’s too bad that finding such an inclusive learning environment in the school system can be such a struggle.
-
@oliviaevans Yes, I agree! For my inspiration report, I am diving deep into the needs of foster kids and how libraries are struggling to get them into the library to take advantage of the programming. More librarians need to do outreach to group homes and other agencies working with foster youth to get them into the library.
-
What an inspiring testament to the power of connected learning! Your son’s journey with the robotics team beautifully illustrates how these experiences can profoundly impact individuals, providing them with opportunities to shine and thrive. It’s heartening to see libraries, like Multnomah County’s, stepping up to foster similar transformative experiences for underserved communities. This commitment to equity and inclusion is truly commendable and reflects the essence of connected learning. Keep sharing these incredible stories—they remind us of the boundless potential within us all.

Hi @lauraw,
Life long learning is so important! When my sole focus was that of being a stay-at-home mom and the care/livelihood of my children, in so many ways I felt dried up and missing something. Coming back to school and learning a subject so different than my past studies has opened a new part of me. Learning something new has brought so much happiness and motivation to my life! 🙂-Laurel

Laurel,
Yaaaayy!! I hear you. Amen, sista! Thanks for reading ; ).

Hi, Laura! I just wanted to comment and thank you for referencing the 23 Things quiz. What a cool and interactive website – apparently I am the “Visionary” creativity type: “Emotional, passion-driven, and full of ideas, the VISIONARY combines a vivid imagination with a desire for practical solutions. Your introspective and intuitive nature is balanced by a keen interest in the world around you and a desire to contribute to society.” I really think the form matches its function in mirroring what it assesses visually in between questions with its surrealist movement and soundscapes; it almost felt like interpreting what was happening in between the questions was more important than the questions themselves, even though I have no idea if they change based on your answers or not. (I felt particularly called out by the question concerning whether you’re a “Restart now” or “Remind me tomorrow” type of person.) What I like the most about it is that it tells you which type of creative your “Ideal Collaborator” would be – for me, the “Thinker” – which I think cuts to the heart of the sentiment of your blog post here; that the value of libraries is what we can learn from the people they’re made of.
-
Thanks for reading, Mary Joy, and so glad you took the quiz! I know, those transitions were mesmerizing and remind me of what my kids call “ASMR”–sounds that are satisfying, or something…I’ll have to go check out who my Ideal Collaborator is too. If you download the results, it gives you a whole Zip drive of different file types you can use for your image.

Good call! I know, not enough play is given to adults. My library has a story time for adults, but with developmental disabilities. I feel like many more would be able to tap into the kid in themselves if given the opportunity.
Glad you took the quiz and thanks for reading my post!!

Hi, Savannah! Right off the bat I want to say that I love the sentence “Let’s talk about the mess.” Your writing style in this post does a great job juxtaposing the concepts that you and many of the readings for this week rightfully point out to be something “uncomfortable” and therefore difficult to hurdle and have productive conversations about. I think that feeling is what drives a lot of change in my own library – looking at something and thinking, “I know this isn’t working, I know this isn’t right, but I’m not sure what I can do to fix it yet.” A lot of the time, answering that question is as simple as asking my students or fellow staff members, “Hey, what do you think of this?” and using their feedback to help experiment with change. In libraries, we can’t be afraid to do things differently whether or not the discomfort is there – sometimes a change made is solely for the sake of slaking creative thirst and addressing the niggling “What if?”! Otherwise, we risk stagnation, when it’s becoming clear that in the twenty-first century information should be (and perhaps always has been) fluid.
-
I too went from education to librarianship. Like you, I find the two very relatable. I have been teaching at Fresno State for years as an adjunct professor. I first started working at a library to augment my income, but found that I enjoyed my library days more than my teaching days, so I have gone full time at the library and no longer teach. I have used my teaching experience for programs at the library, so in no way do I feel that the time spent in the classroom was wasted.
I love your ideas of playing to learn and hope you can incorporate them into your school library.

@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.
