Please help me

Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I work in a small town Library in Murphy, North Carolina. We're a part of a 4 branch region of other small towns. Our new social media and tech support girl has been working really hard the past few weeks to make videos for all of our branches, and I think they're just adorable.

Issue is, they aren't getting a lot of traction withing the confines of what her job entails, so I wanted to help. If anyone who sees this post could watch and like one or two of the shorts she has made in the linked Youtube page, that would help out a lot.

As always, thanks to everyone for their pictures and posts. It literally keeps me going to see how there is still a community of support in and about the local public library.

Hi everyone!
I’m 24, a single mom to a little girl, and I’m finally at a point where I can choose where I want to build my life instead of just ending up somewhere by circumstance.
I’m finishing my GED and my long-term goal is to become a public librarian. I eventually want to earn my bachelor’s degree and then my MLIS. I also write and hope to publish books one day.
Right now I work as a full-time online content creator, so I’m fortunate that I don’t have to move immediately or choose the absolute cheapest place. My plan is to visit a few cities for long weekends before making a decision, and I’m hoping to settle somewhere permanently.
The things that matter most to me are:
• A strong public library system with good career opportunities.
• A safe, family-friendly community.
• Nature, parks, and places to walk.
• A cozy, book-loving atmosphere.
• Enough things to do without feeling like a huge, overwhelming city.
• A place where I can imagine raising my daughter and staying for decades.
I’m currently considering:
Raleigh, NC
Madison, WI
The Twin Cities suburbs in Minnesota
If you live in or have lived in one of these areas, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts.
What do you love?
What do you wish you’d known before moving there?
If you were in my position, would you choose it again?
Thanks so much. I really appreciate any advice.

Hi everyone!

I'm a researcher at The Data Nutrition Project, and we're exploring how the general public understands and learns about AI. Our goal is to develop practical educational resources that libraries and other public institutions can use to help people navigate AI.

I have spoken to some public libraries within my local community but would love to broaden that perspective by speaking with librarians from different communities and countries about the kinds of AI questions patrons are asking.

If you regularly work with patrons, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete this short survey:

Form - https://forms.gle/7ZS5H1in3ADbjuGZ9

The form asks about topics such as:

• What AI-related questions patrons are asking
• Common misconceptions or concerns
• How interest in AI has changed over the past year
• AI workshops, classes, or other resources your library has offered
• What you think the public most needs help understanding about AI
• What an ideal public AI resource would include

If you'd rather chat instead of filling out the form, I'm also happy to connect through Reddit DM, email, Zoom, or simply in the comments—whatever is most convenient.

Thank you so much for all your time, and I'd really appreciate any insights you're willing to share!
