It made me think of a short video I watched on highly walkable cities with good public transit systems; their city grids are designed in such a way as to be short blocks in tightly connected neighborhoods (like NYC). In comparison, sprawling cities and suburban areas have been gradually…Read more

I appreciate your notes on the LAPL’s anniversary events and collecting people’s memories in an archive. Every library should be doing this! Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.

I never really considered the color schemes I’ve chosen for my blog and some of my projects, but you’re absolutely right, the colors do pop! Even though the semester was condensed and went by really, really quickly, I found that the modules were approachable and it was easy to pick and choose an area or…Read more

I think most library branches still have the Bruce Lee cards, but then you have to make a decision between two designs. Both look amazing.

I agree with you; sometimes when I’m reading a story, and something major happens, I need to commiserate with someone about it. I appreciate your comments about my expansion ideas; I feel like libraries should do more collaborations with local artists and shine a spotlight on their work. Thank you again for the kind words!

I was trying to think of a book club that I would want to join, and this was it for me. I really, really enjoy older classics but it’s difficult to finish quickly (hello, David Copperfield). I’m totally with you regarding taking the time to reflect and formulate proper responses to discussion questions. Thanks so much for the…Read more

I’m so glad my post resonated with you. I don’t work in a public library, but this was just an observational hunch I had just from looking around at my environments.

Usually in the middle of the day, they’re super quiet, but I absolutely love stepping into a branch where things are happening and you can just sense the joy to be there.

I enjoyed reading your post on ChatGPT and libraries. Like you, I appreciated Moriarty’s even-keeled and rational response to ChatGPT and its uses. I think by now, we’ve seen its limitations and how it truly can’t replicate human creativity’s qualities (humor, quirkiness, imperfection, etc.), which I think is something to take joy in.…Read more

I really enjoyed reading your post on the power of books. I completely agree that books can be transformative and comforting, especially for younger readers who don’t quite have the skill set to articulate their frustrations and feelings in conversation.
