@michael Thank you for this. I haven’t messaged but things have been pretty hectic in my world so this is appreciated.
-
@deniseml You are very welcome! Take good care.
-
Hi Denise,
I hope that life settles for you soon. Sending well wishes!
-
-
@Michael Thank you so much! Your generosity is so appreciated.
-
Thank you so much for this, @michael . Such a crazy time.
-
Whoa! Thank you @michael
I appreciate the flexibility. -
Wow, thank you much, @michael. Your grace is appreciated more than you know.
-
@mickeysosa97 @terribeth @msandoval @Catherine Glad to do this!
-
Thank you @michael. This is very appreciated and I just had weight lifted from my shoulders.
-
@saraschwan I am glad some weight has lifted!
-
-
This is so generous, @michael–thank you so much! I hope you’re extended similar grace in your own life somehow. Also, I’m obsessed with those broccoli earrings, hah.
-
Also wow have fun in Scotland; I hope it’s a good reset for you! A friend of mine just flew over to St. Andrews for a creative writing program, so you’re in the same part of the world as her. 🙂 I also hope you get tons of good pics.
-
@valancy my sincere apologies for missing this comment thread while I was flying and then once I was here. Yay for your friend who is at Saint Andrews. I wish I would’ve been aware of what opportunities were out in the world when I was moving into my undergrad days. I actually did not travel outside of the North America until 2002. So yay for your friend in the creative writing program. And also, I am so happy to give everyone fluids. It just feels right.
-
@michael no problem–traveling like that is huge (also I think I didn’t even properly tag you, so…it’s more than okay that you missed it). I totally understand that. I have yet to travel abroad myself but would love to; I might even visit my friend while she’s over there! Your photos from your trip make it look fantastic.
-
@valancy That sounds like a good plan to visit your friend. I truly believe traveling abroad is good for the mind and spirit. Please go if you can. Of course, I would highly recommend Scotland and the UK in general.

Inspiration: Humans of Dokk1
Hey all – I so appreciate posts like this from Dokk1 on Instagram You might find inspiration here for future assignments.-
I appreciate this post as anger really is the face for all the emotions you feel underneath. There was a chart in my child’s therapists office that has anger at the center of it and then spokes coming off with so many different emotions. I really want my children to be able to name what they are feeling or the emotion they are experiencing. By doing so, one moves their brain activity away from the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that helps us navigate irrational behavior – like anger.
-
@saraschwan This is good stuff. Need to remember that!
-
-
I first learned about Dokk1 in Info 200, and have been obsessed ever since. This is such a cool use of social media, and I love the humanness of the caption. You just don’t see that everyday, especially on an account that represents such a large organization. I love it.
-
@bklint Right! It feels so human. I have seen a couple of new ones go up while traveling. They have a good thing going.

Hello. This is a test of linking a favorite video of mine without pasting in the URL.

Thanks for this video! I’m glad it works…I’ll have to figure out how to insert the HTML — does it only work if you’re the author of the site? I may stick to pasting in URLs!
-
@arthurkolat Great question. I have super admin privileges on this site that could give me the magic touch. Give it a try.
I learned that Bit of code a million years ago!

It appears to work! Thank you so much. I’m a coder now and my hyperlinks will look neat now. Cheers!

Inspiration: Gwinnett County Open+Michael Casey shared this video and article to explain more about the Open+ system. Where are they now? Gwinnett County Public Library: Magnifying access with open+
-
I feel like I have heard a lot about Gwinnett County Public Library system through the LIS program. I was wondering if there was any opinions on the reasons why? This is just out of curiousity. Is it because of the huge population they serve and some of the innovative services they offer?
-
@acorey
I’ve been curious about this as well. I appreciate the addition of this video and article because they clarify that when a library is proactive about accessibility, inspirational things start to happen. I love the fact that Casey and Pace saw an opportunity for their library to avoid reduced hours through an innovative program like Open+ and asked for their library to be a test site. It is openness and willingness to engage with others that proves fruitful.-
@acorey @msandoval I think a lot of it is the very forward thinking leadership – Pace, Michael and the rest of the admin team has done very cool things and been openly transparent as well.
-
It does definitely help when you have forward thinking leadership, that can think outside the box, and are also supportive of the staff they supervise. I also like that Pace, Michael, abd the rest of the team were transparent. That way there are no surprises or skeletons in the closet for people to find.
-

@msandoval
It is a great way to save on staff hours and I’m glad it didn’t affect employment as well!

This is great for the public’s mental health! Someone who was/is in a bad place may need to see this and dream, or at least feel a little bit better.

Very cool, and beautiful photos! Hope you’re having fun!
Wonderful pics!
@michael Maaan, this makes me miss Scotland; I got to do a travel abroad program when I was 19, and absolutely loved it! Scotland is for sure one of the most beautiful places to visit. Thanks for the pics of Edinburgh!
@inabookbind @catladylilia @claireburke Yay! Things are going well. Monday was rainy so we visited all four museums under the National Galleries. So amazing!
Claire – any chance I get I suggest to parents or their young folk: travel outside the US – it is eye opening and life changing…especially if you are a YA.
