Bridgerton in Libraries: How Libraries Tap Into the Zeitgeist Even When Denied Access
|
|

In October 2021, Bibliotheca unveiled the new library streaming service biblio+. It has a respectable selection so far, but it doesn't have the buzzed-about hits that commercial streaming services put out. Take Bridgerton, for example, which is a Netflix show based on a book series by Julia Quinn. Librarians are finding ways to connect with their patrons about this wildly popular show, even if they can't necessarily hand them DVDs of it or recommend it as part of their streaming collection. In this article, librarians explain why they're Bridgerton fans and want to share it with their community. You'll learn some of the ways librarians promote the show and the books, often alongside their existing romance collections. And librarians confront the main problem of celebrating Bridgerton—that they can't offer access to it—and discuss a possible solution.

Edited by Sarah Bryans-Bongey and Kevin J. Graziano, foreword by Norman Vaughan
Since the publication of the first edition of Online Teaching in K–12, education has undergone two seismic shifts: the pivot to online teaching necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of generative artificial intelligence tools for the classroom.
This updated second edition takes these developments into account, serving as a hands-on reference for education professionals—teachers, administrators, program managers, policy makers, and faculty in teacher preparation programs—who are seeking success in the planning, design, and teaching of K–12 online courses and programs.
