Item Kids in the Library: Enacting Joy in the Academic Workplace Through the Creation of a Family Study Space(IGI Global, 2020) Gammons, Rachel; Corlett-Rivera, Kelsey; Kletscher, KarinaWhile children’s services are traditionally associated with public libraries, the increase in students with dependent children means that academic libraries are increasingly being called to provide family-friendly spaces. Using the University of Maryland Libraries as a case study, the authors detail the process of developing, implementing, and overseeing family-friendly services, including a family study room and activity kits for children. They argue there is value in welcoming families into the academy and projects, such as a family study room, worthy not only for the contributions they make to the community but also for the opportunity to enact joy in our daily practice as academic librarians.Item Breaking Out of Boredom: Revamping the Library Orientation for First-Year Students(2019-10-30) Wilson, Suzy; Kletscher, Karina
