Using techniques garnered from startups and quickly evolving technology companies, in The Experimental Library: A Guide to Taking Risks, Failing Forward, and Creating Change (ALA Editions, 2023), Cathryn Copper explores how information professionals can use experimentation to make evidence-based decisions and advance innovative initiatives. The last five years have demonstrated that sticking with the status quo is not an option; instead, as the experiences of many libraries have shown, those that experiment are better positioned to adapt to rapidly changing environments and evolving user needs and behaviors. The Experimental Library supports librarians as they draw from new approaches and technologies to harness experimentation as a tool for testing ideas and responding to change. Copper borrows ideas and inspiration from the startup sector to teach you how to take a human-centered and design thinking-based perspective on problem solving. This conversation for New Books Network explores the mindset, methodology, and culture that support experimentation in libraries. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective.

Demonstrating how learning theories are applicable to a variety of real-world contexts, The Librarian's Guide to Learning Theory: Practical Applications in Library Settings (ALA Editions, 2023) will help library workers better understand how people learn so that they can improve support for instruction on their campuses and in their communities. In this book, Ann Medaille illustrates how libraries support learning in numerous ways, from makerspaces to book clubs, from media facilities to group study spaces, from special events to book displays. Medaille unchains the field of learning theory from its verbose and dense underpinnings to show how libraries can use its concepts and principles to better serve the needs of their users. Through 14 chapters organized around learning topics, including motivation, self-regulation, collaboration, and inquiry, readers will explore succinct overviews of major learning theories drawn from the fields of psychology, education, philosophy, and anthropology, among others. All of these can support reflection on concrete ways to improve library instruction, spaces, services, resources, and technologies. This accessible handbook includes teaching librarian's tips, reflection questions, and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter.

School librarians have always connected learners' life experiences, cultures, and communities to materials, projects, and processes. As schools look to make these connections within the classroom and to the curriculum, school librarians are perfectly poised to lead and model meaningful steps toward a culturally responsive mindset. Embracing Culturally Responsive Practice in School Libraries (ALA Editions, 2023) by Elisabet Kennedy celebrates how learners' cultures shape everything from their communication to how they process information. This book translates complex concepts into accessible and practical school library strategies while challenging readers to embrace and nurture their personal and professional growth. An authentic and approachable guide to culturally responsive pedagogy aligned with the National School Library Standards, this book features an adapted framework with actionable steps and activities based on culturally responsive principles that directly relate to AASL Standards; scenarios offering context for learning, demonstrating conflicts, exploring potential harm, and suggesting strategies; and reflective exercises and challenges, introductory definitions, and resources for deeper exploration.

Jenn Carson is the library director at the LP Fisher Public Library in Woodstock, NB and is also a yoga teacher. She has a Masters degree from the college of Computing and Informatics from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. There are 63 public libraries in the province:  5 regional offices, 52 public libraries, 11 public-school libraries (for a total of 63 public branches), a virtual branch and a provincial Books-by-Mail and Talking Book Service for people with print disabilities. Most work independently with municipalities and there are a few that are in schools. They offer services such as digital resources, e-books, audiobooks and a variety of programming as well (aside from just taking books out). 2 libraries just started a program that you can borrow musical instruments-  “The Sun Life Financial Musical Instrument Lending Library” and it is available at Fredericton Public Library and Nashwaaksis branch. Some have seed libraries as well where you can take seeds out and if you save seeds, you can take them to the library. Other neat things are activity packs in Riverview, and other alternative collections (sewing machines, baking pans, tools, etc). Physical literacy, like regular literacy, is a skill, which is something you gain from an early age. As you grow, you explore your environment and learn how to move your body in time and space. It’s important in libraries as they’ve become cultural centers, to focus on the whole-person, so they are concerned with whole-person literacy (financial literacy, digital literacy, textual literacy, etc…) of which physical literacy is one component. They are seeing this in terms of kindergarten age kids not being able to cut with scissors or hold a pencil properly, or even sit on a chair, so it is important for libraries to teach physical literacy because if you can’t hold a pencil properly, you can’t write properly and that holds you back for your regular literacy skills. It’s also important to teach this to older people as well, for example, seniors are coming in to the library and learning how to ballroom dance or run or rock climb! The NB Public Library system is unique for a variety of reasons, but since we are such a small province, we can share resources and collections across the whole province. We also have a “books by mail” service so if you can’t get to a physical library, the library will mail you a book and you can just send it back when you’re done. This started after the bookmobile service ended and it’s really popular! Fredericton is starting the Bibliobike this summer too- so you can get a book on the trail, and in Halifax they are going to “books on the beach” so you can attend storytime and check out a book or a magazine while you’re at the beach and bring it back to the library later. Check out the links below to find your local library and the amazing online resources and tools available to you for free! Jenn also wrote a book about incorporating physical literacy programs into your programming! It’s called “Get your Community Moving- Physical Literacy Programs for all ages (ALA Editions, 2018)” and you can buy it on her website!

Weeding is an essential but controversial task. Removing outdated, unused, or deteriorating books ensures that a library's collections remain fresh and relevant, but some critics consider the library to be a repository for all materials, regardless of content or physical condition. In Episode 36, two librarians discuss different aspects of the weeding process. "American Libraries" Senior Editor and "Dewey Decibel" host Phil Morehart speaks with Rebecca Vnuk, executive director of LibraryReads and author of "The Weeding Handbook: A Shelf-By Shelf Guide" (ALA Editions, 2015) about why weeding is necessary, how to get started, and what to say to naysayers about its importance. Next, Morehart talks with Brian Greene, a librarian at Columbia College in Sonora, California, who cowrote an article in the October 2018 issue of "C&RL News" on large-scale ebook weeding undertaken by the Community College Library Consortium in California. Greene discusses what he learned from the project and offer tips for completing such an endeavor.

Looking for a job can be arduous and anxiety-inducing. It's not surprising: The end results can be life changing. And organizations looking to hire new employees face challenges, as finding the right candidate for a job can be difficult if the search isn’t conducted correctly. What can job seekers and employers do to improve the process to everyone’s benefit? In Episode 32, we find out. First, ALA Editions acquisitions editor and Dewey Decibel contributor Jamie Santoro speaks with Caitlin Williams, author of Be Opportunity-Minded: Start Growing Your Career Now (ALA Editions, 2019), about tips for those on the job hunt and job market trends. Next, Dewey Decibel host and American Libraries associate editor Phil Morehart talks with David Connolly, recruitment ad sales manager for the American Library Association’s JobLIST, about what job hunters should be doing to find the right fit and what employers should be doing to find the right candidates.

In part two of our conversation with Becky Spratford, we discuss her ongoing involvement with Stoker Con, how horror authors can do programs and conventions at their local libraries, advice for authors at the beginning of their career, how to use Halloween and the current popularity of the horror genre to your advantage when building relationships with libraries, and more!

Librarians may ask: why horror? And authors may ask: why libraries? Becky Spratford has the answers to these questions and more—her insight gave us a whole new perspective on ways to strengthen the horror community in libraries. We talk about what writers can do to build relationships with their local libraries, how reader's advisory works, the pros and cons of genres and subgenres, and so much more. Becky shares her philosophy on connecting authors and librarians with the ultimate goal of finding more readers for their books.

In Episode 25, Dewey Decibel features interviews with two librarians whose expertise has them on the front lines of environmental disaster relief and preparedness. First, American Libraries' Associate Editor Terra Dankowski talks with Miriam Centeno, a collections care coordinator at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Libraries. Miriam traveled to Puerto Rico to help train librarians there in preservation and collections care following Hurricane Maria in fall 2017. Next, American Libraries Associate Editor and Dewey Decibel host Phil Morehart speaks with Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, coordinator for library sustainability at Mid-Hudson Library System in Poughkeepsie, New York, and author of Sustainable Thinking: Ensuring Your Library's Future in an Uncertain World and Resilience, both published by ALA Editions.

The recent American Association of School Librarians (AASL) national conference in Phoenix served as the launch site for the updated National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries—a fascinating matrix of shared foundations and competencies that allows librarians and educators to address and meet the needs of 21st-century learners. The Standards were the talk of the conference. They even infiltrated it in an unlikely place—an escape room. The escape room at the AASL conference found participants using elements of the Standards to solve clues: collaboration, investigation, exploration, engaging with others, sharing, and so on. In Episode 20, we explore the intersection between the Standards and escape rooms. First, host Phil Morehart speaks with Marcia Mardis, associate professor and assistant dean of interdisciplinary research and education in the College of Communication and Information at Florida State University and chair of the Standards editorial board, about the Standards, why they were updated, and what’s in the new edition. Then we report from Phoenix where ALA Editions editor Jamie Santoro talks to former AASL president Terri Grief about the escape room before joining a team of librarians from Oklahoma as they tackle the AASL escape room. Finally, Santoro talks with Patty Jimenez, a teacher-librarian at Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix, about an escape room that she set up for her students in the library.
