Hi Sara!
I really enjoyed reading your infographic! I agree with all your takeaways, and I think it can be difficult to remember at times that libraries are there for their community, and a huge part of that is pivoting to meet your community’s needs, and forming and maintaining deep bonds and relationships with your community.

Hi @christinew. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the course. I really enjoyed listening to it — and the elegant design was great! I appreciated your comments about the community and patrons being the most important thing. When I got into library work I thought it was all about the books. How quickly I learned that it’s really all about the people. In my case, middle school students. What a joy it was when I figured that out! So much fun.
Thanks again.

Hi Mikayla,
I work in a public library as well and we also find it challenging to balance the needs of patrons. Our open children’s room aside, what’s creates the most tension among our patrons is our after school population. Nothing short of a swarm can describe the crowds we get from families to tweens and teens due to how many schools are around us. We have a few study rooms and some “quieter” space, but with a one story open floor plan, there is no designated quiet area. During the after school hours, we typically schedule additional staff on the floor to roam and ensure that individuals are being respectful of each other and the space.
-
Hi @ysalina
Thank you for your response to my post about learning environments and how to meet the varying needs of patrons in a physical library space. I can relate to the challenges that your library faces during after-school hours. The Almaden library is right next to an elementary school, so when school lets out in the afternoon there is always a burst of energy. We also have a one-story open floor plan, which can lead to space, noise, and energy conflicts! Good idea to staff extra people to roam and ensure everyone is respectful. After all, the library is for everyone. However, it sounds like you understand that it can be challenging to meet everyone’s needs simultaneously in a small shared space. 🙂

Thank you for sharing the quote! Librarians and other information professionals wear many hats, which in itself is can be considered a superpower. They are story tellers, program planners, program coordinators and program leads (and sometimes all-in-one). They are also customer service representatives, reference professionals, technology whiz, teachers, and so much more!

Hi Sara!
I really enjoyed reading through your inspiration report! I enjoyed you highlighting and defining important key terms as well as the history of podcasts. I think you laid out the pros and cons of podcasting very well, and I certainly was persuaded to consider implementing podcasting as part of library programming.

@lauraw Lovely and effective takeaways for both this course, and for life in general! As an aside, I didn’t know it was possible to create something like this in google slides.. I will have to go explore that more! I also had a lot of trouble figuring out how to edit videos to add audio at the right places, but I figured hey, it’s time to put my words into action, and embrace that lifelong learning thing we talked about so much! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!
-
Exactly! Ugh, it nearly broke me in the end though. Do you know of any presentation sites that can embed audio music files into the slide deck?? (I’m thinking my struggles may have been due to permissions). Anyway, it was frustrating. Thank you for taking the time to check out my presentation and I’ve enjoyed chatting with you and getting to see your amazing ideas this semester! Best of luck!

Lauren, I listened to your selected song as I swiped through your presentation and had a great time – especially with the embedded videos and fun animations. Thank you for all of your reflections and sharing your insights and expertise this semester!

Hi Sabrina,
I love that you opened with a GIF, I found myself staring at it a lot longer than I should have, lol. When thinking about fear in the US, I think of fear of the unknown, and then also I think of misinformation and “fake news”. With how information can easily be dispersed now with the internet and technology, the additional digging for where information is being sourced from and where it leads is now something that people may not care for, which can lead to all kind of issues and misinformation.
Libraries serve to combat that, and perhaps having that continued strengthen connection and bond with the community will help to combat against this somewhat as we continue to grow together. 🙂
