DIY Librarian

I have been tagged (I believe for the first time ever) in a meme by the Lipstick Librarian.

Based on this photo by Paul-W.

The idea of the meme is to select a photo (your own or one released under a Creative Commons license) and add a caption to summarize what you want the kids to learn about. Many of the responses seem to have forgotten the “about” (which is fine, interpret how you will) which has led to what the Free Range Librarian calls “Hallmarkian abstractions”.

The title is a quote I’ve seen attributed to an unknown trail runner. I like it because you can interpret it in many different ways – and that is what I’d like the kids to do. The photo brings to mind many things I would like kids to learn about (the environment, reading, self-sufficiency, and appropriate and functional clothing, to mention a few).

The meme:

1. Post a picture from a source like FlickrCC or Flickr Creative Commons or make/take your own that captures what YOU are most passionate about for kids to learn about…and give your picture a short title.
2. Title your blog post “Meme: Passion Quilt” and link back to this blog entry.
3. Include links to 5 folks in your professional learning network or whom you follow on Twitter/Pownce.

I’m tagging: E-Tech, Libraryola, Rambling Librarian, TangognaT, Science Librarian at Penn State

I should note that I was in the process of marking a whole bunch of things in my feed reader as “read” because I am short on time, but I decided to actually read the LL’s post because of the title “Passion Quit” (emphasis mine).
