Talking in the Library

Yesterday I presented an update on our Learning Commons transition plan to the School Committee.  It was a great opportunity to pause, look at the work we've done so far, and assess what we need to do going forward.  The School Committee was engaged and asked perceptive questions. Thank you to the students and faculty who took the (enormous) Learning Commons survey few weeks back. Your feedback gives the Learning Commons Committee (Harman Bharj, Jacqueline McInerny, Alisha Ukani, Tess Alphas and Henry Moon) the ability to make informed decisions.

It's been busy in and out of the library. In April I presented at the Massachusetts Library Association's "Bending Boundaries" conference about publishing in the library. About eight librarians from across the state--public, school, and academic--explained the publishing projects they had been involved in. I also went to a very cool presentation by the folks at Provincetown Public Library who launched The Provincetown Public Press . Here's my presentation about the publishing project on which I collaborated with Alicia Collins' poetry class:   Bending Boundaries Presentation: Massachusetts Library Association April 2014 from Alida_Hanson
