The Bibliodames

Nicole Graham/Jenny Staffordwww.bibliodames.com
We are the two librarians who work together in an urban high school in Fort Worth, TX. We want to focus on how we integrate technology into our everyday life in the library on top of all of our more traditional librarian duties. We will talk about all aspects of our lives in the library, including our successes and failures.

Episodes

Reunited While Still Socially Distant

The Dames are finally reunited, safely in their own homes, and are ready to share what they've been doing. They discuss what they've been reading and watching, how they have transitioned to distance learning and working from home, and finding the silver linings in living the #QuarantineLife. Sound quality isn't ideal due to a bit of app smashing to make this recording happen and there were some internet hiccups at the end, but it's all good in our separate hoods.

Nicole and her darling husband Joe talk about how quarantine is going for them, how the dames are working with their campus on digital education, and a segment we've entitled Q&A with the live in tech support.
