Introduction: Melbourne Magazine winter 2024

Looking for a way to build on its educational mission, Howard County Library System saw an opportunity with the upcoming renovation and expansion of its Elkridge Branch. The dark, drab building was transformed into the DIY Education Center, offering a collection of tools such as baking pans, home improvement tools, and hiking poles. The program also included participatory classes for members of the community to gain experience and see professionals use the tools need to build a wall, change a bike tire, construct a salad table and more.  By combining a wide array of tools with lessons and demonstrations, Howard County Library Sytems is offering new learning experiences for the community.

Season 3: Life in the information age—preceded by the 24-hour news cycle and the internet—has made the job, gatekeeper of information, more difficult than ever. While improved access has its merits, it has also fragmented our communities. These episodes discuss the role of the librarian in an often politicized world.
