Although we are talking about technology, the most important part is library staff who make it work.
Libraries that got the most out of NJHealthConnect “weren’t the ones with the most money,” @EBPLibrary's Karen Parry says .... Usage tracked the library’s enthusiasm about the program and interest in promoting it" @njstatelibrary @james3neal @PottsboroLib libraryjournal.com/story/cal…
I’ll be speaking at 2023 ARSL Conference on Sep 22

A #library is like a garden, and @PottsboroLib is a great example of how libraries nurture growth in their communities. #IMLSmedals
The longevity economy is real. And fascinating!
.@PottsboroLib is licensed by the AARP foundation to offer Senior Planet classes, which teach patrons about online activities, including online shopping, banking, and safety. The classes also explain how to use Google Workspace, cloud storage, Google photos, iPads, and more.
The 5th grade class is coming for a field trip next week. I can’t wait until they see our new VR setup and create their own opera with AI.
Young people love to create and innovate at the @PottsboroLib MakerSpace. Young patrons enjoy a variety of activities, including Raspberry Pi, Makey Makey, Robot Mouse, Snap Circuits, and coding activities. #YoungInnovators #IMLSmedals
And as of yesterday, pickleball equipment! The collection is always growing. The most popular items are the pressure washer and carpet cleaner.
Patrons at @PottsboroLib can check out more than just books! Non-traditional items circulate from their Library of Things. Thank you, #libraries, for being part of the sharing economy. #SharingIsCaring #IMLSmedals
If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. Broadband development in rural areas will only happen together. @TSLAC @netinclusion @usdaRD
.@PottsboroLib is recognized as the digital inclusion leader in its region. The #library launched a broadband coalition for Grayson County to organize for Broadband Equity Access Deployment and Digital Equity Act funding. #IMLSmedals
We are the crossroads of the community. Sometimes loud. Sometimes messy. Always welcoming.
Today, share your stories from 2023 National Medal Finalist @PottsboroLib! The Pottsboro Area Library is the crossroads of the community. It is a community asset that belongs to the people. #IMLSmedals
We are so honored to be recognized by IMLS with such a powerful group of change makers.

Join me at the inaugural Rural Health Summit. I'll be speaking about the role rural libraries play in improving health in our communities. fundraise.givesmart.com/e/_Z… #EngagedLibraries #RuralHealth @TSLAC @AmericanHeartTX
The Tocker Foundation makes it possible for small libraries to think big. Our library would have closed without their support. Incredible organization
I love this infographic the Texas-based Tocker Foundation created to illustrate how it frames (and funds!) rural libraries. tocker.org/ Now to get a similarly expansive vision into our national library policy... h/t @PottsboroLib
