Connection Cafe' 1 week, 4 days agoEmpathy in Sci-Fi
I just finished listening to Brandon Sanderson’s most recent book, which is the second in a series called Skyward. I haven’t read such a beautiful demonstration of empathy in a long time. Check it out!

Connection Cafe' 2 weeks agoHi everyone, I was just browsing my Libby app for a new audiobook and came across a book called “The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Living a Happy Life.”
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-little-book-of-hygge-meik-wiking/1124178356#/Before this class, I had never heard the term “hygge” and probably would have passed over this title,…[Read more]

@elizabetholson Very cool. I had some serious Hygge on T-Day. I curled up under the weighted blanket and binged a comedy on Netflix. No candles but the smart light bulbs were set to “candlelight” mode. Oh, and there was wine. 🙂

Connection Cafe' 3 months agoHi All,
Thought I’d share this bit of news about the UK introducing Nintendo games into schools to help kids with tech skills. I think that this type of “hyperlinking” can be introduced into libraries as well.

@mdabney That is an excellent example – and a brilliant way to help kids get skills. I totally agree about libraries. If you look up library gamification, you may find some interesting stuff. 🙂

That’s wonderful news to me! I would love to see more gamification in the future. It sounds like a lot of fun. A library I worked at is now adding Nintendo Switch consoles so kids have something to play on.
-
That’s great! Our library recently got Switches as well, based on popular request! 🙂
-
That’s awesome! As someone who owns one, I definitely appreciate that libraries are helping the patrons out by purchasing them! They’re not cheap so this is a great way to give them open access to something fun.

Awww @christineb I was debated if I should post or not…. Thanks for sharing.
@michael, I was delighted to come across the interview – which I found interesting. One of my favorite moments: dog bathing 🙂
Congratulations on the new book!
@christineb Thank you!
