I am a huge supporter of free education through the library and I think that digital literacy is the number 1 thing that people can and should learn from the library right now. The idea to have this program specifically help…Read more

This is a stellar reflection that I am envious of because I think you put to words what has been swirling in my head for a long time. The idea of “newness” is so subjective. If you’re around for long enough you’re bound to see styles and ideas be recycled within an updated context of today. The juxtaposition of rapid technological…Read more

I am in favor of a fine free library as a move toward equity and access! While I was aware of the movement away from late fees and other library fines personally (through my hometown library system emailing everyone that their fees had been waived) I appreciate your blog here that goes through the timeline of this movement. I especially…Read more

Wow a genealogy room sounds really cool! I’m intersted logistically how that works, like what sort of records, artifacts, or databases are available to make that an available program at the public library.

So for TLP I didn’t do much of the finding aid writing, I mostly just transcribed and translated the hand written and/or typed notes from the interviewer. I also made sure that names were consistently spelled in the audio transcript and that dates aligned from the audio to the finding aids. The written notes were really helpful with the…Read more

This is such a great proposal that feels incredibly user centered and #hyperlib. To me, this is very clear solution to the problem of equity and accessibility to library resources and collections. I liked your examples of these machines working in different libraries, and I’ll share that I’ve seen on social media a middle school library…Read more

I really love this proposal. And it’s so funny because I feel like I have been seeing the concept of hygge all over the place lately! The thing that sticks out the most to me about this proposal is how all encompassing AND specific hygge can be when applied to a library space. Hygge in the library seems obviously like having a comfy…Read more

First of all, congrats on the new job! That’s a very exciting transition but I’m of course sorry to hear that it’s resulting in burn out and doing multiple peoples jobs, that can be really tough. I also imagine that being in school at the same time is really piling things up on your plate, so I’m glad that we have this community where…Read more

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your comments.
A good portion of my job as the Library Media Assistant is rotating the displays month to month so selfishly I wanted to pitch this idea because it would provide some ease (and new opportunities) to that part of role. Like you said, the digital displays would hopefully take some…Read more

Thanks for your comment! I am realizing now that I didn’t include much of a background on OPALS which is my library’s integrated library system (ILS). It’s an HTML based system that while a little clunky at times, works really well for our library’s needs. A big reason I think this digital display system will work is because we have a…Read more

Wow I love this idea and I love how it was presented! After going through the slides I am convinced this would be a worthy innovation for the San Gabriel Library.
