Ever since the Children's SRP numbers increased waaaay over the Adult numbers, our director makes a point of putting us in our place. She resents bitterly any patron's suggestion that they are at the library now because of their kids. Of course, the fact that her spouse is the head of adult services may be the problem... ya think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175652458700347449.post-13526457322861962092013-02-13T13:53:21.792-06:002013-02-13T13:53:21.792-06:00Can't wait to read that post, Julie!Can't wait to read that post, Julie!

When I think of Makerspaces I...THANK YOU FOR THIS! <br />When I think of Makerspaces I think of 3D printers and workshops with wood tools, etc. We've always done "makerspaces" in the way being talked about now. Our annual "Craft Buffet" is apparently a makerspace. On one hand I'm just glad the press gets people jazzed about more open ended activities, but it would be nice if youth services folks got more credit for being innovators in the library world. <br />Yesterday I wondered out loud why adult services doesn't do bands during the summer or concerts in the park. An email went out on a local listserv about a comedy routine for adults that was interested in coming to libraries. Youth services already does this EVERY SUMMMER. Will this be the next BIG, NEW thing in adult services. I hope so.<br />And it would be fabulous for youth services to be credited for doing it first, but I'm not holding my breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175652458700347449.post-22740277887635437722013-02-12T09:54:33.394-06:002013-02-12T09:54:33.394-06:00I had a colleague who outspokenly derided my "...I had a colleague who outspokenly derided my "DIY" programs despite their success in engaging kids in the library. I outlasted her (no surprise there) and I've been wondering lately if she's aware of the DIY/Make movement and if she's even more bitter. Bethhttp://www.bethreads.comnoreply@blogger.com
