I hate so much what’s happened to twitter these past couple of years. It used to be such a big source of happiness (fandom) and information for me. I hate that so many of us have felt the need to leave. : (
And I’m really struggling this semester, which makes me sad because this class and the other I’m taking were ones that I was very much…[Read more]

@catladylilia I LOVE this! I use virtual study YouTube sessions all the time, and I would love to get something like this started at the college library where I work. It would even help *me*! ; ) Also, this presentation is gorgeous.

New Models: The Library's Place in Democracy
This election season has me thinking a lot about what the library’s place is in helping to promote democracy. Every library I’ve ever worked […]-
@terribeth I think this is a fantastic idea! Things can get very heated, especially around election time, and this could help alleviate that. It is important for people to be able to have open conversation and be respectful, and it’s also super important that our communities stay educated with politics – so that they can stand firmly beside their beliefs and ideas, and feel confident in their choices. This could also help them learn about the power that they have in their communities and where there is opportunity to present change politically.

Hi Terri,
Such a thoughtful post, thanks for sharing! For the past few weeks, we’ve been getting an influx of people coming in with so many election-related questions at my library, with some being outside of the scope of our knowledge. So it would be such a great idea for libraries to provide a space for civic engagement aside from election years!

Thanks very much, @pfulumirani

@terribeth 100% yes! Civility in conversation might lead to empathy in action.

This is great! With so many college students in the area, this could get a lot of interest. I also really like how you mentioned that gearing programming around seasonal events like tax time would be nice.

@louis It’s so sad to hear (among so many other things) that the Edward Said Public Library was destroyed. This was a very good read, and I enjoyed checking out many of the libraries you linked to.

@terribeth The quote from the Portable MLIS is right on target! Such a strong thought as we think about what is happening globally in the LIS world. I think that chapter helped bring Comp O to the portfolio!

Libraries can serve such a vital role in helping to connect refugees with what they need. I love the concept of a library hosting an art exhibit created by a group of refugees…it gives their voice a chance to be heard and allows new connections to be made between different people.

“getting the people’s money to the people”
That kind of blew my mind a little, Emily! You are so right — it’s their space, and we need to find ways to get them involved.

Hi Michelle!
I work in a college library, and we are going through a very interesting period with regard to space. Our new (new-ish — she’s been with us for a year now) library director has implemented a huge weeding project which has, so far, yielded enough space to create large open areas on two different floors. We’ve added furniture to…[Read more]

Inclusivity and Hyperlinked Communities
I think my big takeaway from our Hyperlinked Communities module is the idea that there is no limit to the ways that programming can support […]-
@terribeth Your reflections on the profession in response to Lauersen resonate with me. We so need to have folks in our libraries (all types of libraries) that reflect our communities and our diverse and complex world.

Thanks, @michael !

Hi Terri – I also really like the practice of audience-led programming. I work with State grant programs and think of what I’m doing as getting the people’s money to the people. I think it’s same with public libraries – audience-led programming gives folks ownership of public places (getting the people into the people’s spaces) and can be a great way to build public trust around institutions.

Hi Terri,
What a cool idea! I had heard of citizen scientists before, but not citizen archivists! It really is so important to have our stories documented, especially the stories that belong to marginalized groups. Thanks for sharing!
