I'm wondering if you are doing anything extra during Covid to make your website more interactive or build warmth, and possibly a sense of community. I know this is a vague query and you may be doing this already on social media, but I've been asked to implement
a few features on the library website, over the summer (all our summer programs are remote learning), and figured I'd open this up to the group. Here are a few things we are discussing. </div>

<li>Our Library staff are interested in a digital "whiteboard" e.g. a place where people can put their thoughts, etc. I'm not sure anything exactly like that exists. This seems the most difficult to replicate on a website. Anyone familiar or done something
similar? Perhaps there is someway to display social media activity on our site aside from the Twitter timeline (e.g. Embedding Instagram stories in a website)</li><li>Somewhat related, I'm interested in featuring some kind of poll where respondents can see how their responses compare to others. We use Qualtrics and I'm going to

explore this feature</a>. I'm excited by this, because I'm more familiar with Qualtrics. </li><li>Creating a getting to know the librarian's page, where we have pictures and information about librarians beyond their area of expertise in the library. </li></ul>
<div>Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing about your ideas, thoughts, frustrations, etc. </div>
