11:00:47 From Ian Garland to All panelists : Anne, I have that mug too!!! 11:01:41 From Jennifer Hampton : Jennifer Hampton from SSI in Boulder, CO. 11:03:14 From christina stjohn : Tina St. John from Alpena County Library, Alpena, MI :D 11:05:37 From Rita Magno to All panelists : Rita Magno from Alma Public Library, Alma WI 11:06:16 From Deborah Doyle : Deborah Doyle, Commission Vice Chair Sonoma County Library, California 11:06:18 From Joe Olayvar : Hello from Washington State Library 11:14:34 From Jennifer Hampton to Anne Holland (Privately) : Also, exist on current local partners. Build on what is working. 11:21:39 From Jennifer Hampton to Anne Holland (Privately) : Can you give example of a focus topic for a community dialogue that occurred? What was the topic? Who came? What was discussed? 11:21:58 From Anne Holland to All panelists : Jennifer, make sure you’re sending to “all attendees” no one can see but me :) 11:22:33 From Sandie Isaacs to All panelists : Curious to see how this could work in a small public library. Looking for ideas. 11:22:38 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : Can you give another example of a focus topic for a community dialogue that occurred? What was the topic? Who came? What was discussed? 11:28:56 From Sandie Isaacs to All panelists : We are planning to virtually share some of summer reading program activities with the community on a weekly basis. I had not considered this as a community dialogue program. I'm feeling better about it now. 11:29:46 From Deborah Doyle : Also very important to build relationships so when you need voters, you have them!!! 11:33:49 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : Also, some already have strong local partners to tap into or people you've thought about working with over the years. Consulates and Hispanic Association. Refugee organization. etc. 11:33:54 From Joe Olayvar : what about HOA's? 11:37:14 From Deborah Doyle : Local restaurant associations. Am assoc of University women. Veterans orgs. 11:37:36 From Rita Magno to All panelists : Are these usually organized around specific initiatives? These are busy people...too busy to just sit and chat. 11:39:08 From Ian Garland : I feel like this is a dumb question, but how do you get true and accurate reflection of the community? Some times community leaders will slant their input for a range of reasons. 11:39:26 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : what is a good way to come up with discussion topics for your particular CD 11:40:05 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : I mean questions to ask to CD participates. Formulating the questions in a good way. 11:46:03 From Deborah Doyle : One concern: the lack of online connection with rural/aging community. 11:46:17 From Rita Magno to All panelists : Yes I agree. 11:47:28 From Rita Magno to All panelists : In Wisconsin we've created a map of WiFi spots at schools and libraries 11:48:03 From Deborah Doyle : Cool! 11:49:51 From Deborah Doyle : Great idea! 11:54:44 From Tina Stjohn : Issues I've noticed in my community is the digital gap widening during this stay at home order and anti-fracking of our Bay. Patrons are also concerned about keeping our Marine Sanctuary safe. 11:56:03 From Ian Garland : An issue I see is our some of our community having internet which leads them to not see that a community conversation is going to take place. Thus not able to get access to views from those who might need it the most. 11:56:20 From Rita Magno to All panelists : We're too tiny for 6 foot distancing...a one-room library 11:56:47 From Tina Stjohn : I think many of the community members in my town feel the community dialog/conversation is for them. 11:57:02 From Tina Stjohn : not for them 11:57:22 From Deborah Doyle : Another barrier: this situation is so unusual. Towns and county are having their own frantic conversations. We are a joint-powers library. The library conversation gets a bit lost. We also can’t afford to furlough for much longer, 11:58:05 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : Bringing the CD to location in the isolated area or to isolated people. Certainly a good idea. 11:58:26 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : going to them in person when possible. 11:58:36 From Stephanie Vierow-Fields to Anne Holland (Privately) : we got 2 min left 11:58:58 From Jennifer Hampton to All panelists : or again setting up a phone conference call for these people to join somehow. 12:00:17 From Stephanie Vierow-Fields : http://www.starnetlibraries.org/resources/community-dialogues/ 12:01:44 From Jennifer Hampton : You are all awesome. Best wishes! 12:01:45 From Deborah Doyle : Thanks, thanks! 12:01:48 From Don Parker to All panelists : Thanks! 12:02:08 From Rita Magno to All panelists : Great thanks! 12:02:24 From Ian Garland : Thank you so much! This was very helpful in my brainstorm. 12:02:32 From GarryHarris to All panelists : Awesome Job!
