<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In order to help librarians during the COVID-19 epidemic, I've decided to forgo the monthly Ready to Go Book Display and instead share with you some tips on online displays.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Graphics are important to an online display because it's easy to scroll pass a chunk of text. I love using Canva.com to create graphics.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I arrived at the Seminole County Library system, I learned that there were only two Sensory Storytimes here, and both were located at different branches. Moreover, the branches alternated months, so interested families would have to travel between the two branches (which are not very close together) in order to attend on a monthly basis. While our Central branch houses an entire Sensory Lab (for which they won both a grant and a state library award), I felt it important to have something similar, albeit smaller and able to be contained on one library cart dedicated for this purpose. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Being a librarian that works primarily with youth, as well as a mother of a child on the autistic spectrum, I sought to create a program at my own branch that would run monthly and would serve both neurodiverse and neurotypical families. To this end, I decided to learn what I could from a professional standpoint about how to develop my own Sensory Storytime. Fortunately, I found the book <a href="https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/programming-children-and-teens-autism-spectrum-disorder">Programming For Children and Teens With Autism Spectrum Disorder</a> by Barbara Klipper. Armed with the recommendations in this book and my own experience with the types of activities that had helped my son in occupational therapy, I went to work pulling together information. I also reached out to local organizations for resources and advice on what to incorporate. [Some of these resources are made available to caregivers at each Sensory Storytime]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I chose Wednesday morning to hold the storytime, since I knew many of the families in my community were interested in a more hands-on, tactile experience than I could provide at my other storytimes. My first session was held late last year, and there has been some tweaking to the format since to accommodate new ideas. Overall, I am very pleased with the way this program has evolved, and I cherish the families that attend and provide very positive feedback regarding the experience. Perhaps my favorite feedback moment was from a family who told me how welcomed they felt and how engaged her child was throughout, which she stressed was a rare thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What to Do</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some of the techniques I incorporate come directly from Ms. Klipper’s book, while others were based on other feedback and my own research regarding the sensory needs of children. I’m including some of the tools I’ve found most helpful:</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Interactive books are always a big hit</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Social story: I outline, in graphical format, how the storytime will proceed. Some children on the spectrum, for instance, need structure and find transitions a challenge. The social story gives them a heads-up about what to expect.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Wiggle” or “bumpy” seats: these provide sensory stimulation and allow the kids to move a bit while still sitting. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Quiet” fidget toys: I use sensory beads enclosed in a plastic cover, but <a href="https://www.nationalautismresources.com/theraputty/">theraputty </a>would work well, too. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sensory balls: I do an activity where I roll a sensory ball to each child and ask them (or their caregiver) their name, then state, “Hello, [name]” as they roll the ball back to me. This activity provides a wonderful opportunity to help everyone get more comfortable while helping to work on core muscle strength and gross motor skills. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Scarves and shakers provide an opportunity to move, stretch, and sing. Everyone gets scarves and shakers, even babies and adults!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Interactive books: stories that allow kids to make noises, move, etc. are always a hit. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Action rhymes and songs about activities of daily living: washing body parts and brushing teeth (such as singing Raffi’s “Brush Your Teeth”) are some of my favorites, but I’m always on the lookout for new ideas.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Activity tables: since I don’t have access to a separate room, I have commandeered a library cart and stock it with my supplies. Some of the activities I do every month include hiding plastic toys in plastic bins of kinetic sand and water marbles and allowing the kids to dig through them to find the “treasures”. These are always a huge hit, providing tactile/sensory stimulation and a lot of fun! Other activities include finger painting, gluten-free play dough, and a tissue paper craft that helps children practice their fine motor skills.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mats for de-stimulation: I have small gym mats placed in a quieter corner of the room for kids who need it. </span></li>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Attendance has been wonderful, and I am looking to possibly expand this program to twice monthly, as scheduling permits. There is clearly a need for this type of program in my community. As a parent, I wanted to create a storytime my own child could have joyfully attended, since traditional storytimes in my area at the time were not designed to be inclusive. The program I’ve come up with is not ideal, and I am not an authority by any means. But libraries are for everyone, and we need to make sure all our children feel welcome and included!</span><br />

People have mixed feelings about this opportunity. Some people are REALLY EXCITED about it, and others are <b>very frustrated.</b><br />
<br />
While on the surface, it seems great, we thought we should take a closer look at this. There is already a pretty comprehensive article written on <a href="https://bookriot.com/2020/01/23/reese-witherspoon-librarian/">BookRiot</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=reese%20witherspoon%20librarian">Library Twitter</a> has plenty of opinions, but we thought we'd share our thoughts anyway.<br />
<h2>
The Bad</h2>
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Lack of Information.</b> Though the ad has now been updated, when it was first posted, there was no mention of salary, hours, benefits, etc. In addition, the title "Librarian-In-Residence" implies that you would have to live in Los Angeles, which means it would only really be open to a select few. The updated ad says that this is a part-time, paid position, and you wouldn't have to live in L.A. Some travel is required, which would also be paid for. This doesn't really answer all the questions, though; how much travel is required? Is this something a librarian can do on top of their full-time job? We really don't know.</li>
<li><b>Wait, a Librarian Is What Now?</b> It seems that the term "librarian" is being used to mean "a person who likes books a lot." This is ... not correct. As we know, many of us got a Master's Degree to have the title of "Librarian," and to see it given away to just anyone raises our hackles a bit. According to the actress, "the word 'Librarian' encompasses all types of interests and educations," and that is just not true. It's hard enough to have people think that we're not volunteers when we're full-time employees; please don't add to this. Really, you don't have to be a librarian to do this job. A really good booktuber would be great at it.</li>
<li><b>Dance Moves?</b> In the video Ms. Witherspoon made to advertise this position, she mentioned that great dance moves are important. Many people find this ableist. What if the absolute perfect person for the job has limited mobility? Even those of us who are lucky enough to be able-bodied... well, I can't dance to save my life, but it's never come up in a job interview.</li>
<li><b>It's Too Cute.</b> One of the comments I've read about this is that the whole thing is <i>just too cute</i>. We work so hard to be taken seriously as educated professionals, but here comes this video that makes us seem like, to be A Real Librarian, we have to not only be educated and knowledgeable, but also adorable. Really?</li>
<li><b>It's Not An Application, It's A Contest.</b> As <a href="https://bookriot.com/2020/01/23/reese-witherspoon-librarian/">BookRiot</a> explains, this is more of a contest than a job application. You need to look good on camera, and once you submit an entry video, Hello Sunshine can use that video however they wish, with no guaranteed compensation to you.</li>
<li><b>So ... Really, Does It Pay?</b> The ad says that it is as paid, part-time position. It doesn't say how much, and the lack of transparency is an ongoing issue in terms of salary in the library world. </li>
</ol>
<br />
<h2>
The Good</h2>
<div>
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Honestly, It Sounds Like Fun.</b> The person who gets this position will get to "collect and catalog resources, talk about our book picks with Reese, speak directly with our authors, and have fun and entertaining conversations with our community." A worldwide book club! HOW COOL! It really does sound awesome.</li>
<li><b>You Get To Talk To Celebrities.</b> I'm going to be totally honest here. The thought of being friends with Reese Witherspoon is pretty cool, but what I would really geek out about is the opportunity to talk to authors about the books they wrote, maybe get the inside scoop on details that ended up getting cut in editing. </li>
<li><b>A Little Extra Income.</b> While the ad doesn't say how much the job pays, many of us are drowning under student loan payments and the general cost of living life in 2020. Especially for those of us with Etsy shops or barista jobs on the side, an extra paycheck doing something we love would be pretty nice. </li>
<li><b>Free Travel.</b> I mean... how fun! </li>
</ol>
</div>
<br />
<h2>
Our Thoughts</h2>
<div>
Look, if this sounds like a good opportunity for you - why not apply? Take these things into consideration, but if you go into this with your eyes open and you still are interested, then go for it. This job sounds like a really great opportunity for someone, and I hope that Hello Sunshine finds the perfect person for the role.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ms. Witherspoon, if you're reading this (which I know is extremely unlikely), we here at 5 Minute Librarian love you and would welcome the chance to educate you about the field of librarianship. We're a very dedicated profession, and you should drop into your local library and take a tour! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And please consider hiring a degreed librarian.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">It's that time of year again - time to add all the literary holidays you can find to your planner! </span>We have written a calendar <a href="http://www.5minlib.com/2019/01/literary-holidays-to-celebrate-all-year.html">in past years</a>, but w<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">e've been trying to add as many reasons to celebrate as we can find. We also checked all the dates, because some of them are on a specific date, while others are on, for example, the Thursday of the second full week of the month. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">If you have more literature-based or library-friendly holidays, please let us know and we will add them in.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Please note that, while many of these holidays are officially sponsored by (and you can purchase posters and such from) the American Library Association, many of them are made up just for fun, and there is no official, cohesive, governing body. As such, you can celebrate them however you like. I have linked to official sources where I was able.</span><br />

<h2>
Kat L., Children's Librarian:</h2>
<ol>
<li>I am extremely grateful that I have a job that I love. My Director is fabulous and encourages me to think outside the box and push my creativity. My coworkers are awesome, I get to do something differen<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">t every day, and it's</span> generally a wonderful place to work. Having worked in some not-so-wonderful places, I am very aware of what I have here.</li>
<li>At-A-Glance calendars, colored pens, and fun office supplies. I love being able to flip to a month in my calendar and quickly see what I am doing (green), what my assistant is doing (purple), what days our reading dogs are coming in (blue) and when I have meetings (orange). It probably sounds silly, but it makes things so easy when they're color-coded! I also have stickers all over my calendar, and fun office supplies abound. Sure, everyone has post-it flags, but how many of you have kitten mermaid ones?</li>
<li>Do you know how many flavors of tea there are in the world? LOTS. I am on a mission to drink them all. Tea not only has health and stress-relieving benefits, but it's delicious and has zero calories. </li>
</ol>

Allison C., Teen Librarian</h2>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>I'm super grateful for canva.com. I was able to use our Friends' 501(c)(3) credentials, to get a free upgraded account for our Library. It's super easy to create beautiful social media posts, Facebook headers, graphics for our event calendar and even library signage. You can also have a team so that other library staff can collaborate on designs. And since it's all saved online, I can easily access it from any computer in the library.</li>
<li>Another site I'm loving is hootsuite.com. It's great for scheduling social media posts in advance. The free version allows you to schedule 30 posts in advance (think 30 Facebook posts or 10 posts to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). Our library upgraded to the paid version so that I have unlimited scheduled posts. It really comes in handy for the summer when I can schedule out weeks or months worth of posts before I'm too busy to post daily.</li>
<li>Work-wise, the biggest thing I'm grateful for this year is that my library has finally broken ground for our expansion and renovation project. Our library is going from a place with no program space to having a whole teen space and teen program room (among lots of other great additions). I can't wait until our teens can start enjoying it!<br /></li>
</ol>

Jess B., 5MINLIB FOUNDER AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF</h2>

<ol>
<li>I am so excited about e-passes! Our library offers one for the local science museum and I was able to request it online (on a Sunday night), it was emailed to me, and I immediately used it Monday morning, before my library even opened. It could not have been any easier! More of these, please!</li>
<li> I love public library and school collaborations. Our school is in the process of changing their curriculum from reading one book of anthologies to having a variety of books of different age levels. Not only are our teachers getting teacher cards to help add more books for kids to use, but the library director also offered all of the leftover books from the book sale for the teachers to use. It is a win-win for everyone.</li>
<li>Lastly, I am super grateful for my colleagues, Kat and Allison. This has been a rough year for me and they have stepped up and kept 5minlib going. There is no 5minlib without you two. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and passion. </li>

You can take your time to pick the entirely right story that will work with your mood. This is particularly wonderful in the children's room - giving a child their choice of book will help ensure that they enjoy the reading of it, because it is <i>their</i> book. Of course, there are times when browsing just isn't possible, and there are times when you need a book on a specific topic. Enter the Kid Kit - these kits are curated collections of titles on various topics, from potty training to the death of a pet, which are ready when you need them.<br />
<br />
At my library, we have a large selection of kits, which are shelved all together. The topics can be divided, for the most part, into three major categories. (Why the division? For collection development purposes, I find it easier to mentally separate them so that they aren't overwhelming.) I'm going to list our topics here, to show you the broad range of things you can make kits for, but please don't take this as a call to make every single one of these. It's just to give you ideas.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Major Life Events</h2>
If you're a parent and you're already dealing with a major life event, you want to be able to grab a few books to explain it to your children and hit the road. Of course, some of these events (death of a loved one, for example) are more major than others (going to the dentist), but they are all new experiences for children. We have book kits about:<br />
<ul>
<li>Adoption</li>
<li>Aging (as in, dementia)</li>
<li>Dealing with Cancer</li>
<li>Death of a Loved One</li>
<li>Death of a Pet</li>
<li>Divorce</li>
<li>Going to the Hospital</li>
<li>Going on a Plane</li>
<li>Going to the Dentist</li>
<li>Going to the Doctor</li>
<li>Military Families</li>
<li>Moving</li>
<li>New Sibling</li>
<li>Potty Training (boys)</li>
<li>Potty Training (girls)</li>
<li>Starting Kindergarten</li>
<li>Starting School</li>
<li>Tooth Fairy</li>
</ul>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
Help With Behavior</h2>
Behavioral problems aren't because a child is <i>bad, </i>of course. They may just need some help and reminders about things (spoiler: we don't bite our friends), or some help with confidence. Our topics include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Afraid of Dogs</li>
<li>Bad Behavior</li>
<li>Being Patient</li>
<li>Feeling Afraid</li>
<li>Manners</li>
<li>Needing Attention</li>
<li>Self Esteem and Confidence</li>
</ul>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
Learning New Things</h2>
<div>
It's always wonderful to learn a new skill! Whether it's tying your shoes or using the potty, or reading folktales from around the world, we have you covered. Our kits are: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Adding and Subtracting</li>
<li>Colors and Shapes</li>
<li>Cinderella Stories</li>
<li>Fire Safety</li>
<li>Folktales from Around the World</li>
<li>Food and Nutrition</li>
<li>Four Seasons</li>
<li>Multiplying and Dividing</li>
<li>On the Farm</li>
<li>Potty Training (boys)</li>
<li>Potty Training (girls)</li>
<li>Safety</li>
<li>Tying Your Shoes</li>
<li>Weather</li>
</ul>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
Miscellaneous</h2>
<div>
Of course, there are a few kits that don't strictly fall into these guidelines, but are important enough to have kits about. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>All Kinds of Families (LGBTQIA+, single parents, etc.)</li>
<li>Autism (both for children who have it, or who know someone that does)</li>
<li>Differing Abilities (includes books about Deafness, blindness, Down Syndrome, etc.)</li>
<li>Extended Families (cousins, grandparents, etc.)</li>
<li>Gender Roles and Equality (including transgender children)</li>
</ul>

Each bag has a barcode and a clear label of the topic, as well as a label listing the contents of the kit (top right). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are actually two stickers that have the call number - in this case, J KIT GOING TO THE DOCTOR. We have one in the top left corner, and another on the left edge, so when you are flipping through the hanging kits, it's easily visible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also have a label that clearly and cheerfully says "KID KITS," so you know exactly what you're getting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The sticker on the bottom right has the library's name and address. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This kit has 5 books in it, which is about average. Some kits have more, and some have less, depending on the topic. They were recently updated to include newer titles, and some have familiar characters (in this case, Pete the Kitty and Daniel Tiger). </div>

Perhaps it's just me, but between taking down the bats and pumpkins and putting up the turkeys and other pumpkins, I sometimes take a moment to consider: do I really have to decorate for EVERY holiday? But then I get back to work and tack up another cornucopia because: yes. You might not find it necessary, but I think it's worthwhile to decorate for everything. I've compiled a list of my thoughts on the subject, which I will share with you today. This does not only include wall art and decorations, but also displays and bulletin boards. (Please note that, while I believe this about the entire library, I am - to be fair - a children's librarian.)<br />
<h2>
We Want To Be Relevant</h2>
When many people think of libraries, they think of buildings full of dusty, old books. Of course, these people are incorrect, but what better way to prove that we are currently relevant than to be as current as this very week? Yes, we care about being up to date! Take away that Halloween candy, it's old news - it's Thanksgiving season now!<br />
<br />
<h2>
We Want To Be Friendly</h2>
It's hard to be angry when you're surrounded by happy things, and creating an environment full of cheer is helpful for those who tend to lean toward the grumpy side of life. Of course, some people will be stressed and unhappy no matter what you do, but for the majority of people, a cheerful, welcoming environment helps relieve some of life's tensions. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/putting-christmas-decorations-up-early-makes-you-happier-2017-11">According to scientists</a>, "the nostalgia associated with festive decorations reminds people of when they were children with no responsibilities."<br />
<br />
This same study mentions that people who decorate the outside of their homes for the holidays are seen as "more friendly and cohesive" than their neighbors who do not decorate. Our goal as librarians is to create an environment that people want to visit and use, and if sticking a pilgrim hat on the turtle tank will make that happen, I am all for it. As I tell patrons who are overly worried about a 25 cent fine, "this is a happy place."<br />
<br />
<h2>
We Want To Be Inclusive</h2>
Halloween is the most popular holiday in October in my part of the world, but it's not the only one. I had up a small display of books about Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, and every single book was checked out! Several parents were surprised we had any books about Diwali at all, and more than one family expressed gratitude that their holiday was represented.<br />
<br />
Of course, it's impossible to celebrate every single holiday, but we can do our best to make sure that all of the most important celebrations are noted. The choice is yours: would you rather celebrate absolutely everything, or nothing at all?<br />
<br />
<h2>
We Want To Be The Third Place </h2>
American sociologist Ray Oldenberg wrote in his book <i>The Great Good Place</i> that people in productive societies need to have a third place - not work, not home - "where you relax in public, where you encounter familiar faces and make new acquaintances." Whether this is the neighborhood coffee shop, the barber shop, the local park -- or, perhaps, the library! -- this place can be integral for people's mental well-being. The idea is that people have no obligation to be here, but they <b>want</b> to be. What better way than to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere?<br />
<br />

<b>Jacob Marley</b><br />
<i>A Christmas Carol</i> by Charles Dickens<br />
Sure, there are more famous ghosts in this title, but Jacob Marley is where it all begins. He's the one who earned his ghostly shackles and is warning Scrooge of his doom by demonstrating exactly how bad things can get.<br />

<b>Moaning Myrtle </b><br />
<i>Harry Potter</i> series by J.K. Rowling<br />
Hogwarts is chock full of ghosts to choose from, but arguably none as memorable as the girl who was killed in the toilets and haunts the castle's pipes. She's also one of the few characters who befriends both Harry and Draco!<br />

<b>Mrs. Massey (The Bathtub Ghost)</b><br />
<i>The Shining</i> by Stephen King<br />
There's a good reason to stay out of Room 217 at the Overlook Hotel. Danny Torrance finds this out one day when he decides to explore, and ends up meeting Mrs. Massey in the tub - who then tries to strangle and kill him! Mrs. Massey is the newest of the Overlook's ghosts, having committed suicide just a few years before the story is set. (Sure, the creepy twins may be the most memorable from the movie, but Mrs. Massey was the one in the book that we were afraid of.)<br />

<b>The Headless Horseman</b><br />
<i>The Legend of Sleepy Hollow</i> by Washington Irving<br />
American folklore specifies that the Headless Horseman was a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball during the Battle of White Plains in the American Revolution. He was buried without his head, and his ghosts wanders the world searching for it. He was immortalized around the world when he pursued Ichabod Crane late one autumn night.<br />

<b>Banquo</b><br />
<i>Macbeth </i>by William Shakespeare<br />
Three witches tell Macbeth that he will be king, and that Banquo will not but his son will be, so Macbeth sees him as a threat and has him murdered. He shows up later at a feast, scaring Macbeth out of his wits and hastening his descent into madness. We like him because, if we were killed, eternity haunting at a feast sounds pretty good.<br />

<b>Emily</b><br />
<i>Anya's Ghost </i>by Vera Brosgol<br />
Emily is, at first, a friendly, helpful spirit to Anya, who is lonely after just having moved to town. Of course, she gets less friendly and demure and much more vengeful as time goes on, making this graphic novel super creepy and amazing.<br />

<b>The Dead Men of Dunharrow</b><br />
<i>Lord of the Rings</i> by J.R.R. Tolkein<br />
They were oath-breakers, men who abandoned their promise to Isildur to fight with him in a war, and cursed to remain on Middle-earth until they could make it right. Aragon, heir of Isildur, was able to call upon their aid and finally release them from their oath. But seriously, can you imagine being in a battle and suddenly an entire <i>army </i>of unkillable warriors is fighting against you?<br />

<b>Anna</b><br />
<i>Anna Dressed in Blood</i> by Kendare Blake<br />
Anna is still wearing the bloody white dressed she wore the day she was murdered in 1958. She's killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home, sometimes literally tearing them apart. She's so creepy.<br />

<b>Death</b><br />

Though not technically a ghost, the narrator of this book from his point of view is particularly creepy when you know that it takes place during World War II in Nazi Germany. </div>

The question came up of <i>why </i>we do what we do. (This wasn't a judgment at all, but rather an invitation to think more about our work and attempt to make it better.) I mean, of course we offer crafts for kids! But... okay, why do we actually do that?<br />
<br />
As an institution that used to be dedicated solely to books, it's interesting to think that we do so many activities - movies, author talks, craft programs, science clubs - the list goes on! Why do we do so much, and how can we make it as effective as possible? This is not to say that every single program has to check off every single box, but it may be worthwhile to consider the different reasons for programming, so we can try to offer a wider variety.<br />
<br />
<h2>
EDUCATION</h2>
Because we have a background in information and knowledge, of course we want to continue to offer educational opportunities as much as possible. This could look different in every program: children learning how cool science is when they're not in a school setting, or teens making healthy snacks so they're not always reaching for Doritos, or adults attending an author talk to hear about the writing process. Everyone will hopefully take something away from a program that they didn't have before.<br />
<br />
I am also including many programs for young children under this umbrella; they may come because they get to make a craft, but they will also be practicing hand-eye coordination.<br />
<br />
<h2>
COMMUNITY</h2>
The world has changed drastically in the last few decades. With the rise of social media and the ubiquity of cell phones, people are both much more connected with friends and family, and much less connected to their physical neighbors. Getting to know your neighbors is, in a way, a lost art, which keeps people feeling like they are not part of the place in which they live. What better way to foster a sense of community than to bring everyone together for a program? It will give people a common topic to discuss and a chance to get to know one another.<br />
<br />
<h2>
LITERACY</h2>
Of course, libraries want to promote literacy and a love of reading. To this end, we offer book clubs for all ages, story times, poetry circles, author talks, and other ways in which our reading lives, as a whole, are enriched. Discussion groups encourage readers to broaden their horizons and read books that may not have reached them otherwise.<br />
<h2>
CULTURAL LITERACY</h2>
Of course, literacy isn't just about books! Our cultural literacy has expanded to include movies, television shows, podcasts, music, YouTube channels, and more! Having a <i>Welcome to Nightvale</i> party may seem a bit odd to some, but it's embracing the enjoyment and sharing the cultural experiences of the podcast to fans (and potential new fans).<br />
<br />
This can also work with cookbook clubs - have you tried making foods from different cultures? It might be fun to try some new things!<br />
<br />
<h2>
OPPORTUNITIES</h2>
The phrase "lifelong learning" has come to be a buzz-phrase, that simply means an enjoyment of experiencing new things and learning about what you care about throughout your life. What better way to spur a love of learning than to share some opportunities to try new things that may not otherwise be available?<br />
<h2>
ENJOYMENT</h2>
Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing a program because people want it. Will they enjoy it? Yes. Will they then come into the library and see all the wonderful things you have to offer, and think of the library first when looking for any of the above topics? Then it sounds like a successful program to me.<br />
<br />
<h2>
All In All...</h2>
Of course, there is no <i>bad</i> reason to have a program, but thinking about the Why can help with planning when you're stuck, and can help with funding when you need to ask for it.<br />

A mother came in with her 8 year old daughter and brought her up to the desk, where both my assistant and I were sitting. "My daughter doesn't much like reading," she said. "She only reads graphic novels, and I'm sure you'll both agree with me that those don't count as reading."<br />
<br />
"Actually," we told her, "we agree with HER." After singing the praises of graphic novels - during which, the daughter's face lit up more and more! - the mother said, "okay! I guess I'm not always right." She let her daughter check out one graphic novel for each chapter book, which seemed like a win for them both.<br />
<br />
Much like the debate about audio books being "cheating," I thought we might want to address the reasons why graphic novels are real, worthwhile, wonderful books.<br />
<br />
<h2>
They Are Not "Just" Comic Books</h2>
While comic books are valid in their own right, the graphic novel format is not just a "glorified comic book." Artwork is combined with narrative storytelling to create a cohesive piece of work wherein a story is told. They are not always superheroes saving the day the same way every single time; graphic novels can be any type of story, including biographies, retellings of classics, historical pieces, science fiction epics, and more! And also, of course, super heroes saving the day. (We love you, Lunch Lady!)<br />
<br />
<h2>
The Format Is Great for Reluctant Readers or Struggling Readers</h2>
There are a multitude of reasons!<br />
<ul>
<li>The artwork reinforces the narrative, which helps struggling readers more clearly understand the context of the words, which aids in comprehension and gives a better foundation to decipher an unfamiliar piece of text.</li>
<li>The fast pace of graphic novels helps those who are reluctant to pick up a book, to keep reading. Especially for those who struggle to "get lost" in the printed word, it's easy to quickly get immersed in a story when you can see what's happening, which in turn will encourage readers to go back and read the words, and figure out the text they are missing.</li>
<li>Because space is so limited, every single word has been cultivated to have maximum impact. The language is carefully chosen to pair with the illustrations, meaning that there are no "meaningless" phrases. </li>
<li>Graphic novels are excellent for visual learners. A reader who might not be able to remember something easily when reading of hearing the printed word can actually <i>see</i> what is going on, and as such may be more likely to learn and remember it.</li>
<li>For those who struggle to read body language, the graphic novel helps to reinforce what is easier seen than read about, in a format that can be studied frame by frame (as opposed to television or movies, which sometimes move too fast to analyze).</li>
<li>They have been proven to assist struggling readers with the foundations of literacy, such as sequencing, recall and memory, and critical thinking.</li>
<li>It also makes it easier to reinforce story elements, such as character, plot, and theme.</li>
<li>The format feels more relevant to many students, so giving reluctant or struggling readers the graphic novel of a Shakespearean play or a Jane Austen novel may help level the playing field with students who are able to read and comprehend the prose, which enables them to join in conversations about the plot.</li>
<li>Reading as a whole helps readers to empathize with other people, and helps people to create their own value system.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<br /></h2>
<h2>
Graphic Novels are Great for Modern Literacy</h2>
<div>
The pairing of text and graphics dominates the online world in which we live. The ability to easily pair a few words with an image is crucial to understanding memes, which - while some may not find "important" - are vital to our modern cultural literacy. The graphic novel format helps to reinforce the ability to understand and appreciate this multimedia method of cultural exchange. </div>
<br />
<br />
Graphic novels also strengthen appreciation for the arts; each image is carefully created to look a certain way, and an appreciation for the reasons why each illustration is chosen to look that way is a valuable foundation in fine arts and even architecture.<br />
<br />

There's More!</h2>

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while the little pink ribbons are absolutely everywhere, we don't see as much explanation of what those ribbons actually mean.<br />
<br />
We have come up with some ways that libraries can help spread the word about cancer, early detection, and surviving "the worst," and get your community involved in the fight against breast cancer.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Information</h2>
Did you know that 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in her lifetime? (For men, it is roughly 1 in every 833 people.) When you add in caregivers and families, it's likely that this has an effect on pretty much every person out there.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Information is key! Have a table with contact info for local clinics that perform mammograms, pamphlets on early warning signs, and other important facts. Be sure to include dates and times for local support groups!</li>
<li>Put up a book display with medical information and biographies of survivors. There are even cookbooks designed for cancer patients!</li>
<li>Perhaps have a speaker to come in to talk about their cancer journey, or a local doctor or nurse talk about the importance of doing self-checks. </li>
<li>Put the word out on social media! <a href="https://healthfinder.gov/NHO/OctoberToolkit.aspx">The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion</a> has some great sample tweets that you can use to start the conversation.</li>
<li>If you are unable to host any yourself, or in addition to any that you can host, find and promote local events to promote awareness.</li>
<li>There is a great article with information to share with your patrons on the <a href="https://www.ebsco.com/blog/article/think-pink.-four-ways-to-educate-patrons-about-breast-cancer-awareness">Ebsco blog</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
Volunteering</h2>
Everyone wants to make a difference, and there are many ways that your patrons can help people who are going through one of these hard times.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If you have a knitting or crocheting group, see if they would be interested in making hats for people going through chemotherapy. Some hospitals and treatment centers will leave boxes of donated hats near the patient entrance, for people to take.</li>
<li>Patrons of all ages can make Get Well cards for patients. Cards can either be sent to hospitals and treatment centers without a specific recipient in mind, or can be crafted for people to take and mail to those in their own life who are going through treatment or are survivors.</li>
<li>Assemble care packages for people going through treatment. Include words of encouragement, crossword puzzles to do in the waiting room, and hard candy for a sweet surprise. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<h2>
Support</h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Host a support group for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and their families. You'd be surprised how many people fall into one of these categories!</li>
<li>One library had a program where people did "yarn bombing" (where trees, light poles, bike racks, etc. are covered in knit or crocheted yarn), all in pink, to show their support.</li>
<li>Have pink ribbons that people can take and wear to show their support. Have staff wear them as well.</li>
</ul>
<div>
There are lots of ways to spread information, awareness, and support. In which ways does your library help? Tell us here in the comments, on <a href="http://twitter.com/5minlib">Twitter</a>, or on our <a href="http://facebook.com/5minlib">Facebook </a>page.</div>
