Thanks, @rcsyme! I generally enjoy Emily Henry books (especially as summer reads), but it was a bonus to get one with a librarian protagonist just as I’m starting this program… glad it seemed accurate to you!

@michael —
Sorry to miss this while traveling! I’m now in Seattle for the summer, and the library system here is recovering from a ransomware attack that has essentially forced the branch librarians back to the olden days of physical check-outs using an offline spreadsheet.

After years of prodding by Netflix, I’ve finally started watching “Workin’ Moms” and am now halfway through Season 2. Hits the nail on the head, albeit sometimes uncomfortably…

@nicole287 SO good! So funny… and certainly cringey uncomfortable at times.

Hi Nicole! I took a peek at your other blog post, and I have a lot of respect for you completing a degree on top of all the travel and different organizations you work with. That takes some first-class multitasking and time management skills. I look forward to seeing your reflections during this course with all the different experiences you have to draw from!
If you are interested in outreach, I recommend taking any of Kimberli Buckley’s classes, especially Info 281 Serving Homeless Patrons at the Public Library. While the focus is on services and outreach for the homeless, I felt a lot could be applied to general outreach.

@nicole287 Your post speaks to my soul! I too would have absolutely loved a sleepover at the library as a child. My family was not big on sleepovers, especially since most of them were Friday to Saturday (which is when my family went to synagogue and celebrated Sabbath). So, the idea that I could have a sanctioned library sleepover would have fulfilled some serious wishes. I can imagine that this type of lock-in/sleepover would be a serious time/money investment. Our high school had a lock-in party for all graduates and it was a huge endeavor. Still, the amount of fun it would bring might just be worth the effort!
Side note– I also just finished “Funny Story” (I love all of Emily Henry’s romances). What did you think of the book? I actually appreciated Henry’s portrayal of the main character. I usually find the way authors write about public librarians to be laughable, but this one felt pretty accurate!
Thanks, @rcsyme! I generally enjoy Emily Henry books (especially as summer reads), but it was a bonus to get one with a librarian protagonist just as I’m starting this program… glad it seemed accurate to you!
@nicole287 You are so right about all the hoops needed to jump through to make a library lock in happening. Yay for the libraries that can do it. Years ago, Michael Casey had a teen rock concert at one of his libraries and it made a huge splash because it was so out of the ordinary. I hope we keep working toward more things like that.
The other thing that I had to comment on is you mentioned the book is set in Michigan and I just had to know where in Michigan. I looked it up and it seems to be that Waning Bay is based on Traverse City where I live.

So cool!
