@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.

@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!

Thanks @michael. There are so many good questions out there it was hard to pick!

@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!

@michael It is really interesting. I wonder where we will go from here. On a personal level I’m not scared of AI becoming a staple in our everyday lives. It’s impressive in an intimidating way how advanced it has gotten. I think one day it can become indistinguishable from humans, I just wonder if that will become integrated into our everyday…[Read more]

Yes, thanks for checking in @michael! It’s Spring Break for my work school so I’ve got a chance to slow down and catch up. It is much needed these days. The fluid due dates for this class are really a help but I still want to stay on top of the schedule. May will be a very busy month for me so I need to not fall behind! Thank you.

Thank you for checking in, @michael. I’ve been incredibly sick for the last two weeks, but I’m finally feeling more like myself. I’ve been keeping up with the reading material but I think I’m echoing a lot of my classmates in saying that times are chaotic. We all sincerely appreciate having an attentive and considerate professor like you!

@michael Thank you for checking in on us. I am doing ok trying to balance work and school. I feel lucky that I am working in a library so all the material I am studying I can apply to my job.

@Michael, thank you for your thoughtful post. There are no shortage of things to worry about/do/hamster wheel over. I just checked out this book called “The Worry(less) Book: Feel Strong, Find Calm and Tame Your Anxiety,” by Rachel Brian. It’s a kids graphic novel and my daughter and I were just reading the tactics for your “anxiety tool box” and…[Read more]

@Michael, I love the idea of “historical empathy” and had not heard that phrase before.

@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.
