What kind of presence should designers become in the age of AI?

# data[].attributes.body
Are designers closer to artists, problem-solvers, technicians, or are we gradually shifting into an entirely new role somewhere in between?

As AI generates images faster and more easily than ever, I often find myself wondering what role will remain for human designers and illustrators. The more technology replaces different parts of the creative process, the more I question what kinds of sensibilities, perspectives, and ways of seeing can only come from humans.

What kinds of attitudes or perspectives will help creatives continue making meaningful and joyful work in the long run?

And beyond design, I’d also love to hear how people in different fields are thinking about sustaining and redefining their own work in this rapidly changing era.

When the inclusivity I envision in my mind doesn’t translate into reality in our daily lives, I often find myself wondering, “Are my ideas just too idealistic?”

Questions like “Why go to such lengths?” tend to make me feel discouraged.

How can we better unite the efforts of those who are working to make libraries more inclusive?

How can we ensure they don’t burn out?

How can we make libraries feel less intimidating and more welcoming?
Libraries have their beloved regulars — we know them, we love them💙 How might we open the door a little wider for first-timers and people who are new to the library?

Would It Be Helpful to Have a Library Guide for International Visitors?

Would It Be Helpful to Have a Library Guide for International Visitors?

# data[].attributes.body
I’m a librarian in Korea, and whenever international users visit the library, I still get nervous because of my fear of speaking English 😭

I genuinely want to make people feel welcome, but because of the language barrier, the words just don’t come out naturally sometimes.

Lately I’ve been wondering if it would help to create something like a simple “Library Guide at a Glance” board for foreign visitors, so they can quickly understand how the library works even without a long conversation.

Are there any libraries that already use something like this? I’d really love to see examples if anyone knows of any!

Lately I’ve been really into planting random things in little pots, but honestly… it’s been harder than I expected 😂

A lot of the time I can’t even tell whether the tiny sprouts coming up are the things I planted or just random weeds that flew in from somewhere.

I can usually ask AI with a photo and get a rough answer, but sometimes it gives totally random guesses, which gets kind of frustrating lol.

So lately I’ve been thinking it’d be nice to make some neighborhood friends who are also into plants and sharing gardening info.
Any fellow beginner gardeners out there?!

Personally, I'm not a big fan of e-books. I also don't really enjoy talking to AI models or generative chatbots, although I completely understand how useful they can be. (And I created this image using Padlet's AI! ) So- How will our jobs change in the age of AI? Why are our information services still so important regardless? Can the history of libraries, which have been with us throughout human history, endure into the future? And for what reasons

I’ve always enjoyed acting just for fun, and being part of a theater club has kind of been a little dream of mine. I saw that Neutinamu Library does play-reading sessions with seniors, which looked really fun.

But I’m not a senior yet haha… so if there are any groups that non-seniors can also casually join and enjoy, I’d really love to participate!

I’d love to try joining a script-reading/theater club, so if anyone here has experience with something like this, I’d really appreciate any tips or stories you can share~!

Specifically, I'd like to create a practical guide for my colleagues. This would cover everything from the width of the library stairs and accessible poster designs, to the criteria for spatial layout and material selection. What are your thoughts or concerns regarding this? 💬

Migrants and hospitality in our community

I’ve been thinking about the community’s hospitality toward immigrants and strangers. What kinds of outreach programs could the library offer to immigrant communities who are unable to visit the library in person?
