Maggie Rogers commented on the post, Inspiration Report – Scandinavian Libraries and The Third Place, on the site 2 days, 4 hours ago
Thanks @savannahpolizzi for a great report that so well summarizes some of the really inspiring things happening in the Scandinavian libraries. As a school librarian too, I am intrigued by how to apply these principles to my public middle school library. One of the areas that I know I need to work on is including more student voices. It can be…[Read more]

@savannahpolizzi I really enjoyed reading your inspiration report, and your idea of using Scandinavian libraries as model for a school library. I hadn’t thought of applying it to a school library(such a cool idea!). I especially liked the examples you provided (gives me ideas for a field trip to check out all those libraries in Europe). Laerkes’…[Read more]

@savannahpolizzi Storytelling is such a powerful way to increase empathy and understanding, and to overcome bias and preconceptions. I love your highlighting of cultural humility in the post. The terms cultural humility and cultural competence are often used interchangeably, so I found the link to the site that distinguishes the wo particularly…[Read more]

@savannahpolizzi So good! and ✔✔✔ ❤️.
I so appreciate the picture you paint of the library as a story telling space in every possible way that that could take place: storytime, the human library, and anything else in between.

@savannahpolizzi I enjoyed reading this post and I think you did a good job of categorizing and unpacking what is happening in libraries. Also, I don’t know if I’ve said this in a previous comment, but I love the little checkmarks you’re putting by the readings that you’ve used. Yay. ✔️📚

@savannahpolizzi thank you for this. So good to be reminded of everything Pew has done centered on libraries. I really found the typology good to revisit and I think it holds up pretty well. I am wondering how we might serve all of those different folks from the people that love the library to those that might have things that prevent them from…[Read more]

@savannahpolizzi OH! Remi and Ozzy are so sweet!
I appreciate the fact that you took a semester off to travel. I think that’s a really good thing to do to re-energize or get fired up about the world. Last fall we went to Scotland for 12 days and it was an absolute dream. I visited Berlin and really enjoyed it. I was there for the US Embassy…[Read more]

Since @savannahpolizzi has already mentioned the Fourth Wing series, I will mention something else for this exercise 🙂 Me and my friend recently binge-watched season 1 of Ted Lasso (TV show), which was actually very enjoyable! (We initially thought we’d watch one episode to test the waters, but then we ended up finishing the entirety of season 1…[Read more]
Hi Donna! I’m delighted to see some love for Ted Lasso. I’ve been rewatching it again with some friends and it is just as fantastic as my first watch through. The character development is top notch throughout all three seasons and I find more details to chew on each time I watch. I read recently that the show/characters are loosely inspired by the…[Read more]
Hi Sabrina 🙂 I didn’t know that tidbit! I will keep it in mind as I go into season 2. The character development, like you said, is definitely top notch. They’re well written 🙂 I find myself changing my opinions and coming to different understanding for the characters with each new episode, can’t wait to see where I’ll stand come end of season 3!
