[Michlib-l] MLA Humans of MI Libraries Project

[Oliver Brown]

Hello all!!


My name is Oliver, and I am the Social Media Intern for the Michigan Library Association this semester.



I am reaching out because MLA is spotlighting library workers and other members of the library community, and I was hoping you would be interested in being a part of our series on social media.



This project is inspired by Humans of New York<https://umich-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2EyJyqMP5vJ39gcu5W6r0kIxnqyciZRT7cttV4ultzHFFOhy6hwGIikNgHfvAe2vjYf-ufEhd6DLlvI7HElI2Q3wTNXIOPhHkE2NmSdgiFEzzmrzyLWX4JvM7mXpj2kHJLaJf8PLx85QD2n7WptMueVNIOqNIF_MC6qpZAGNUOttMcXvT>. In our series, we are highlighting stories of librarianship all over Michigan on MLA social media accounts using the hashtag #HumansofMILibraries. With these short interviews and photos, we hope to showcase a more personal side of Michigan libraries!



It’s easy to participate and we would love to feature you!



Please answer any question or prompt below in about ~100-150 words and grab a photo or two of yourself in your library. Then just email your answer and photo at this email address. The photos and full answers will be posted to the MLA Instagram and Facebook accounts along with your first and last name and the name of your library. Your library will also be tagged on social media.



Question/prompt:

  *   Describe a specific moment when a library patron has made an impact on you.
  *   Describe an event in your life that made you want to pursue librarianship.
  *   What has been your proudest moment with the library?
  *   Is there anything you hope to see change in libraries, why is it important to you?



Photo notes:

  *   This is a great chance to show off your library spaces as well!
  *   Make sure your photo is clear and well lit.
  *   No photo editing or filters please.
  *   Please do not send professional photos that need photo credit or permission to use.

If you are interested in participating, please respond directly to me at rapha3ls98 at gmail.com, within 10 days.



Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear back from you!


Thanks,

Oliver Brown
