This is why I felt the need to develop a mindfulness program for my Innovation Strategy and Roadmap. Teaching middle schoolers skills for their careers as adults is a logical next step to explore, as I want to cover all age groups under youth services.  As “90% of the entire population will be connected to the internet within 10 years” (Park, 2016), it is important to introduce children to STEM learning and incorporate digital skills into their learning experiences. Emerging technologies develop from these sectors rapidly…

The creativity shown through storytelling is a way to form bonds with people who may have never connected and is important for building community. Patrons can express themselves with narrative inquiries and choose emojis to garner feedback for the library instead of asking regular survey questions.

Our Friends of the Library group has trouble selling these items and has…

The New York Public Library. https://www.nypl.org/blog/2021/02/23/teens-become-virtual-volunteers Patron participation helps make the library a more welcoming place. This is particularly important for children and teenagers who are finding themselves. The library can be an excellent place for them to learn and grow as individuals. Participatory libraries help patrons exchange “knowledge without curriculum and administrators” (Stephens, 2011, p. 81). Patron participation allows everyone to be heard. The videos from Module 4: Participatory Service & Transparency excited me about technologies libraries have found to seek input from patrons. The Surface and Flickr App gave children the opportunity to…

Hello All, My name is Kazuko and I am in my second semester. I am currently a library aide. I work in the East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area). I am looking forward to taking elective courses this semester. I am excited to learn about emerging technologies in libraries. INFO 200 opened my eyes to all the resources and tools libraries have to offer as innovative community spaces. I love working on special projects at my library. So many projects I do are for children, and I love using my creativity to educate and inspire them. I would love to work in Youth Services because I am passionate about helping…
