Public librarian in Vermont, eager to check out library trends and interested in all things, but mostly cute tiny toys, greyhounds, and cider!

Memory cafes provide an insight with your patrons that moves beyond a service transactions. Programming that improves empathy building and advocacy. #VLC2019

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

New thing I learned about today: Memory Cafe programming. Here is the toolkit to bring one to your library! https://t.co/08j5cVxS27 #VLC2019

Aggregators make paywalls irrelevant to the majority of information consumers. People prefer a digest and will not go past a paywall to get more info #VLC2019

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

Paper ads versus Digital ads. Paper is worth a higher price because it sits around your house. Digital is too easy to dismiss. #VLC2019

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

The trend for click bait headlines is decreasing the motivation for new resources to spend the time investigating #VLC2019

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

News operations covering the “event of the day” means less in-depth coverage. Less reporters means stretching staff to cover more. Less is not more when it comes to providing information. It feels like we are over saturated with info but at what cost to media resources #VLC2019

Awww disappointed that Anne Galloway isn’t here at #VLC2019 But news needs to be told!

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

In fun library related tweets. I had a successful cat cafe event at my library.

Suppose to pick up my dress yesterday. Instead it is getting altered again. Hem was too low still. Seamstress doesn’t have time to take the lace off again. So the front has to be pinned up. She has had the dress since early March. #venting #weddingstress

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

I am starting to get overwhelmed from wedding planning. There is still so much to do!

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

Today in public librarianship. I figured out that my Switch can hook up to our projector. Future teen programming here we come! #pizzaparty

Perhaps because of a childhood in CO, I am always eager for the first snow and disappointed when it comes “late”. In Bmore that usually meant Dec/Jan. At least VT has Nov. Still, I demand Oct snow next year!! #letitsnow

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

I’m happy this twitter handle is still relevant now that I have a new library job!

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

I failed at my resolution to be more active on Twitter. But I did manage to bump up my instagram time.

There is a purpose to adolescence. It is a time of growth. #mla

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

Teens don’t understand baggage. They just understand they are emotional. Consider what baggage you have when you are interacting with a teen. #mladla18

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

Awareness, Agency, and Voice. Learn about teens, and learn how to empower and give teens a voice. #mladla18

[Laksamee Putnam @LibrarianLaks]

“Adolescence is not a stage to simply get over, it is a stage of life to cultivate well” Dr. Daniel Siegel #MLADLA18
