Hi @michael. I was really interested in coming up with an new program for San Francisco PL which would be to provide the community who visit Golden Gate Park Promenade (a car-free section that covers a large portion of the park include major attractions like the Conservatory of Flowers, Academy of Sciences, and The DeYoung Museum) a SF Book Mobile…[Read more]

@Michael. I’ve made some headway into my inspiration report, but started to feel like I needed to confirm with you if it’s suitable. I wanted to focus my inspiration report on providing comprehensive services to foster teens (a subject near and dear to my heart). My idea is a pilot program that positions libraries as a vital hub for social…[Read more]

@michael Thank you for your kind comments! The book is fantastic. It reminds me of the “point of view” gun in the movie Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where it makes the victim see things through the shooter’s perspective. I could easily imagine myself in each of the situations the author discusses.

Thanks @Michael. I have to admit, I’ve been focusing on another big project for my other class and haven’t been able to focus on my Inspo. Report yet! I’m also floundering on a topic. I’m thinking of leaning into Indigenous librarianship. Are we to kind of pick and choose other things libraries are doing that highlight our chosen topic and report on them?

@michael That’s wonderful (and I’m so jealous!)! She was so articulate and had such a great, thoughtful presence on stage – I felt like I had to write about her.

@michael This library is absolutely stunning. It’s a space I would definitely go to if I lived there.
I love the “If you liked…” book suggestions and how it’s displayed and how the information is sourced. Same goes for the Library of Things and how it’s displayed in a similar way. Very cool. It’s like you’re shopping but it’s all free…[Read more]

@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.
-
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
-
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.
BUT right after I commented I was actually finally able to check my library’s…[Read more]

@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, awesome pix! Nice to photo the empty space so you can really get a feel for its capabilities. Unfortunately makes my library seem to pail in comparison!

Matilda commented on the post, Dokk1 Library Overnight Readathon, on the site 1 weeks, 3 days ago
@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.

@Michael, hope you find relief soon in whichever way works for you. I love yoga (just took a class this morning!) and love that it is such meditative and holistic practice for the mind and body.

@michael I am happy you agree, I think people sharing their memories can be a good way to promote libraries as an important institution going forward. It is a way to draw people together, which not many other things can do.

@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]

@michael Thank you! The check marks help me keep track of what I’ve actually used – but I still wanted to give credit to those resources that provided inspiration. I’m glad you like it!
