#UKLibChat Iskolai könyvtárak éjszakája | Felsőfokon.hu Manapság marketingfogásnak is mondható, de véleményem szerint annál több, amikor „éjszakázunk”. Az egyik fórumon kérdezte meg könyvtáros kollégám költői kérdéssel, hogy miért nincsen könyvtárak éjszakája? Azért írom, hogy költői kérdéssel, mert SENKI nem válaszolt neki! Aztán elkezdtem filozofálgatni a kérdésen. Valóban, miért nincsen a könyvtáraknak éjszakai rendezvénye? Mi akadálya lehet? Rákereséskor kiadta az internet, hogy egyes könyvtárakban rendeztek már könyvtár látogatását éjszaka, de iskolai könyvtár éjszaka rendezvényre nem akadtam. A múzeumok össze tudnak fogni, a kutatók is, akkor az iskolai könyvtáraknak sem lehet gond egyszer egy évben Iskolai Könyvtárak Éjszakáját rendezni. Napjainkban fontos, hogy az iskolai könyvtárak szerepe ne csökkenjen radikális mértékben. Igenis fontos, hogy a jövő generációja nyomtatott könyvet is olvasson! Az, hogy elégedettséggel töltse el az újonnan beszerzett könyv „illata”! Fontos, hogy a kéziratok reprint kiadásai hűen tükrözzék eredetijüket! 0.

While another library might have built a new wing on the half-acre parcel, or sold it to raise money for more programming, the Cicero branch put it to the community to decide. What did the people ask for? So in 2010, the land was cleared, and Library Farm was born. “There is a strong local food emphasis in the region,” says Jill Youngs, who is the library manager and oversees the farm. Response in the upstate community has been tremendous. The Farm Library is part of a growing trend in which public libraries redevelop their role as a community center and a place to borrow books. Similar to what's happening in Cicero, libraries are taking that education beyond the classroom and into the field.

Library Wanderer: Really cool AND a librarian (also known as #cpd23: library roots/routes) I begin this post with a question: what's NOT to love about the library roots/routes project? Its title is a play on words! It's a way of finding out random bits of information about people you vaguely know without feeling like a stalker! The demarcation's a superficial one, right? Having a big long list of stories to read is at best interesting and at worst reassuring. So this means that it strikes me as just another bit of echo-chambery navel-gazing, maybe symptomatic of this obsession we all seem to have with Being Reflective and maybe a teensy smidgeon self-congratulatory, though very much accidentally so. Laying my cards on the table, I think this sort of thing is a little bit of a distraction, and there's a point at which that distraction becomes a little bit harmful. I'm not for a single second denigrating projects like these per se. Now I might be ENTIRELY wrong about this.

"Why did you come to the library today?" Participatory Display I've been tweeting bits from a current display at my library and receiving a lot of interest in it, so decided to blog it here, too. If you have a space for it, it's a simple way to raise awareness (both staff and patron) of the many different reasons people have for visiting your library, and the variety of library services they find valuable. We have a 4' by 6' bulletin board in our lobby, currently covered with white paper, so patrons can write directly on it. At the top, I've prompted, "During the 69 hours we're open each week, people come to the Eden Prairie Library for countless different reasons. Below, some of the responses so far.
