Despite the crappy stuff that’s going on in the world today, having a part in strengthening, teaching, and inspiring others is awesome. And libraries play a part in doing this.

I like the idea of a campaign reminding folks that the library is awesome, especially if it would be both library and community driven. Students could post their own stories, videos, and images of why they love the library.

Using a Tumblr is something I’ve been playing around with. I often see students posting and viewing them. Students in the writing center in the library have one that is fun, but also authentic: http://ccwritingcenter.tumblr.com/

I agree that it can help us all to remind ourselves of all the great things librarians accomplish, in the many small and big ways we make a difference for people everyday. I hope you get folks sharing their stories. I will try to add something when I have a good story to share. Good luck on this new endeavor. I’m sure Ben Franklin would have something good to say about it.

Just curious. Is this also something you are thinking about for your own library? That is, a campaign to remind your community that the library is awesome?
