Just when I thought I couldn’t love libraries more, along comes INF287 Hyperlinked Libraries and I realize that I have only scratched the surface of what is possible. Some of the course content was familiar to me, but much was not. However, the flow of the course and how the information built upon itself came together to crystallize some key breakthroughs for me. I’ve include more details in my infographic, but the three AHA moments include:
- Let’s Play – While our library often incorporates play in different ways I want to make a more concerted effort to seek ways to bring this energy to all ages. I hope to help people give themselves permission to play and explore ideas.
- Let’s Try Things! – Building on the play concept, we can also open doors for ourselves to try new things to move the library profession and our libraries forward.
- Let’s Dream – While we can dream any time (if we make time for it!) once we’re in the play and try things mindset I feel we’ll be ready to dream really BIG things.
Thank you to everyone who has been on the journey this semester, I’ve tried to capture my impressions in one final infographic (which is my actual virtual symposium work product). However, the file size was too large for the system limits, so I created this video tour:

Hi, Heather!
You did a great job summarizing the course’s main topics. I loved how you used images and graphics to highlight each point, such as the book next to “How to be fearless”.

It was great being in class with you this semester. If you’re ever in Traverse City please feel free to drop in to our library and say hi!
I will! It was great getting to know you this semester!
Hi @hharrisbrady. Your reflection beautifully captures the transformative spirit of the course, and I love how you distilled your takeaways into a progression from play to experimentation to big, imaginative dreaming. The way you frame play as permission-giving feels especially powerful. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s inspiring to see how you’re envisioning libraries as spaces where curiosity, courage, and creativity can thrive for all ages.
