Desks at services points, and roving services

This has been an interest of mine for many years because it is about taking the services to the clients.

Library 21C had small desks encouraging staff to rove



Arapahoe Libraries at Koelbel had small desks, also to enable roving

and

They were also making it easy for their clients to find things

At Anythink Brighton service desks are also compact

As are the ones at Anythink Wright Farms

Denver Public Library had signs about roving. They were working with an older, large building and this is one way to inform clients about what is possible, as they staff will not always be visible.

Nice features in spaces for children in libraries: part 2

This continues the earlier post about spaces for children in library.

Phoenix Library has step into reading in Spanish


and English



Cambridge Public Library had gerbils


an amazing ceiling,

meeting rooms

and a fun stairway


Boston Public Library, had lots of spaces for parents and children to sit, off by them selves, or with others

and ways for children to navigate under the shelving. This does mean it is fixed shelving so there are some disadvantages to this.

Fox Library, MA had a children's reuse area for funds, use and to support the library,

lovely signs for children,

Watertown Public Library had an interesting classification of picture books

This is not an exhaustive list.

British Museum and #askacurator Storify

British Museum did a lovely Storify of their participation in #askacurator.  This highlights some lovely use of both the hashtag and Storify.  It was lovely to see how different curators were featured.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Other examples of #askacurator happening on other days... Musees d'Angers had their own day a few months ago

About Star Wars costume from the Smithsonian

International games day 2015 #igd15 on storify

I saw this lovely Storify by Matt Finch

It inspired me to do this not so lovely Storify bringing together the photographs and tweets from around the world. It was lovely to see the range of libraries involved, the range of games and the range of people.
