Librarian Love

Soon I'll launch into my Master's program at the University of Maryland. As a full-time student in the Information and Diverse Populations Cohort of the College of Information Studies, I'll have the opportunity to mentor at the knee of an experienced librarian. And here is my mentor, Johnnie Love. With a name like that, how can I not be optimistic?

A beautiful way to begin a new school year, with a renovated library dubbed "The Hub" because of its central function at the heart of the middle and high school campus. Creating closed stacks on the third floor allowed us to open up more space on the first floor for cozy reading spots and collaborative rooms for students. A green wall and book display walls set the tone for a place that is comfortable, stimulating, and attractive. Welcome back, students!

Thing 5: uploading to Flikr

Wow, was this fun! Maybe I do know how to play if I allow myself the time to do it (somehow it seems okay if it's a class mandate!) Anyhow, I took a digital photo, had a co-worker show me how to upload it, then got on Flikr, created an account and uploaded a few. My mind is racing about how we can use this in-house. I already found some Flikr photos of book displays and made a link on this blog; now I have created my own account where I can post photos of the displays that I do so that other branches can see and share ideas/materials. Perhaps we could all share an account and subscribe to the feed so we could regularly see what displays are being created at other branches. One enterprising co-worker already suggested setting up rotating display boxes so that when one branch works hard on a display it can be easily shipped around and shared. This may be a good way to get that rolling...now if only we could get everyone to USE this cool technology...!

Shanghai American School's Puxi Secondary Library to be renovated!

2,500 of our books were relocated to our Pop-Up Library today. The temporary space above the cafeteria will house an essential collection during the spring. Meanwhile, the library building will be  remodeled, beginning during December holiday. Most of the collection will be in storage during the renovation, which is expected to take seven months. Take a look at this clip, showing the ceremonial passing of the last book.
