Simple Positive Play at the Library is about making creative,
playful, and educational resources more accessible to young people
and their families. Here is a story about the formation of the
small non-profit organization Simple Positive Play in the driveway
of a small town and its progress to operating in a building in
Ferguson, Missouri. The theories that fuel its continued growth.
The organization is inspired by libraries and the concept that
youth public library workers can work with the community to design
services. Simple, positive play, as a concept, is about analyzing
the resources available and using them to move an idea forward in
manageable ways. The next step is to reflect upon those experiences
in order to find small ways to improve the product or service with
the input of users and stakeholders. Ways to do this include
engaging in participatory design, engaging in the design thinking
process and facilitating open-ended play experience. Beyond
implementing programs, it is equally important to assess the impact
these experiences provide for the community and share stories of
successes and perceived failures. The book: Explores the nuance
of the work done by youth public library workers Considers a
more participatory approach to designing library services
Encourages readers to recognize the benefits of open-ended
exploration The thousands of public libraries located throughout
the United States are learning establishments embedded in
communities. The focus on youth services looks different in each
location and the professionals providing these services are just as
eclectic. This book promotes the collaborative process inherent in
providing quality youth services within a community and will prove
to be insightful for current and future library professionals, in
addition to families, community leaders, and educators.
