Thank you for reading my report, @tinazhen ! Yes, I definitely think college admission advising is a great service that could be provided at the public library because often, there is only one college advisor in high school (and that if they are not also being a traditional counselor). The reality of economic disparities is also that wealthier…Read more

@tinazhen I appreciated the examples you shared, and I thought for a bit about what it might look like to take the inspiration from Memphis and put it into a small library setting. I agree with you that partnerships might help make that a reality.

@tinazhen this is an inspiration to look back at the 2017 library report and think about what’s going on in 2026. I am so glad you did this.

@tinazhen this was an awesome presentation! It is definitely something that I wouldn’t mind attending and learning about the people around me. My community is not as diverse as yours, so this would not be as popular in my community, but in larger communities this could be a game changers. This is a great way to bring in various ethnic groups and…Read more

@tinazhen Thanks for reading my post! Undergrad experience during the pandemic would have been really interesting to document. You were a student during a historically significant event, and, like you said, students in the future would find that fascinating to explore. We have a COVID collection in our archives, but it is mostly internal…Read more

Thank you for stopping by @tinazhen ! I agree that technology has -often- connected us. My entire family lives on the other side of the world and I can’t imagine not being able to send my mom a picture about the new recipe that I’ve tried or message my best friend to ask her how her job interview went. However, in my opinion, AI is different (than…Read more

@tinazhen so nice to read about these examples from San Mateo. This type of outreach is so beneficial to folks that can’t get to the library or don’t know what the library offers.

@tinazhen what a sweet friend you made at the Ulta! I appreciate your thoughts about AI and I’ve actually incorporated that new option for the inspiration report that allows students to think about the human aspects of AI and how we might use it to save time in busy libraries. Welcome to the hyperlinked library.
