Week 7: CBC Radio Q’s debate on the future of libraries

This debate involved the iconic Fifth Avenue branch of the New York Public Library. They are debating about shipping millions of reference titles to a storage facility to make room for more lounge-like spaces and maybe even a cafe. These changes would make their identity more as a community hub, that go way beyond books. The question now  is: What role should the libraries play in our society?

Here's a video about things to visit in New York City, a place I want to visit soon! ;)

Week 5: Pinterest!

This week, we got to explore Pinterest! :) I was already familiar with Pinterest so I didn't find the tasks too hard! :) Overall I really enjoyed creating a new board of places I want to visit, and I got to follow other libraries to see what they're up too! I'm sure they have great ideas and are doing fantastic things! :D

Week 4: This week I found the different tasks to be quite difficult and hard to understand, with very few clear explanations. I kind of had to figure things out by myself and didn't enjoy it at all! Hopefully next week will be easier and more fun!

Places I want to visit someday! :)

Week 3: Social Reading

This week, we had to familiarise ourself more with Vision, the online catalog. I really enjoyed it, because it was easy, and I learned a few things that I didn't know about. I look forward to sharing those new discoveries with library patrons! :)
