Great! 10:33:59 From Stephanie : Nothing to be ashamed of! I still read it! 10:34:30 From Laura : Me too 10:35:10 From Stephanie : I remember feeling embarrassed because it felt like it wasn't a "novel," but I now see it as just another fun genre to read 10:35:11 From Brianna : I just thought I was the only one doing it.... but then I discovered a lot of library staff actually read it! 10:35:48 From Stephanie : Sooo many library staff are into fandoms, I felt like I fit right in when I started working in one 10:36:05 From Pam : I've written a few shorts too but love to read it more. 10:36:08 From Brianna : Exactly, Stephanie!! I would love to come across patrons that write fan fic... and share our thoughts! 10:36:32 From Shawna : I have been so fortunate in that I come from a nerdy family, so it was very confusing becoming an adult and finding that not everyone embraces the nerd life.

They came to our May the 4th festival and our attendees LOVED IT. 10:48:44 From Brianna : I love fandom and all things nerdy, but it's really hard to get patrons to attend. Suggestions? 10:49:27 From Brianna : I feel like most of the patrons at our library are "older" "elderly" so they might not have the knowledge.... 10:49:59 From Colleen : Brianna, could you do a 'throw back" fandom? Like original Superman? 10:50:23 From Brianna : Oooh! That is a great idea! 10:51:05 From Colleen : Is anyone else feeling virtual fatigue? Our patrons are (staff a bit too!). Would you focus on take - and-makes? 10:53:08 From Shawna : We have a monthly craft program where we do the craft and our interest has improved since we started (unlike everything else) 10:54:17 From Colleen : what is movieoke?

LOL 11:24:13 From Laura : messy fun = the best 11:36:14 From Edda : Also a good idea to post signage informing patrons ahead of time so they know what to expect (and maybe plan to avoid the library that day lol) 11:41:40 From Hope : thank you for all the information! 11:42:17 From Brianna : Thank you so much for all the information! You have left me motivated to try and come up with fandom programs! 11:42:52 From Cathleen : Thank you! 11:42:54 From Edda : Thank you! Fandom programs are the BEST.
