The Role of a Public Librarian Through Storytelling 

 Challenge 

 As a librarian , I used to sit inside the public library , doing tasks such as identifying and interpreting user   needs ; providing reference ; readers ’ advisory ; computer , database , and referral services to patrons   whether in - person , through in - person , through e - mail , or by telephone ; as well as assisting patrons in   material selection . Some patrons are children , students , as well as senior citizens . So , there are different   sets of demographics to take care of . As patrons spend more time inside the library , they are either bored   or stressed more often , and so as librarians . Therefore , the challenge to be solved was what are the   innovate ways in engaging more with patrons . 

 Selection 

 The tool I chose in solving this problem was storytelling . Storytelling is a form of communicating new   developments , improvements , as well as critical thinking , that can help in emotionally connecting with   patrons , and it has larger purpose . As mentioned in the Storytelling Tool video , Joe Colon mentioned   that storytelling is the difference between solving a problem and creating a cause , in which the latter   ignites and united people . Since this challenge talks about engaging more with patrons , I selected   storytelling as a tool to move a step ahead towards better roles within the institution . 

 Application 

 The solution the staff had worked on in the past was building library collections , so that patrons will find   more resources they want . Moreover , promotions regarding the importance of a library are spread   through social media , owing to the public library ’s limited budget . Now , the challenge is to develop   innovative ways for better engagement with patrons . 

 Activities for this part include seminars , workshops , and other in - person and online events , such as   digitization and indexing of documents , and so on . This therefore provides better understanding for both   librarians and patrons on how they should appreciate the essence of a library , especially in a public type   setting . 

 Insight 

 The result of this part is that there are more activities engaged by patrons inside the library whether in- person or online . The head librarian was impressed with the result and encouraged us to further promote   the library and its activities not only for a better solution , but also for a cause . Thus , we were able to get   an opportunity to integrate the solution with innovative ways , so that more engagements will follow .   Hence , storytelling is a great tool for better understanding the role of a public librarian . Now , I try to   include storytelling to make my material more intuitive . 

 Approach 

 As Gutierres has said , practicing these tools will get better at it . So , I am going to practice more   on creating intuitive and simple storytelling that can capture more innovative ideas more efficiently .   Another thing I would like to try along with the storytelling is the visualization tool , which is another   potential in enabling better understanding the roles of a public librarian for better engagement with   patrons . In the future , I will use the visualization as another tool of solving it .
