Robot Apocalypse
Jenny continues her series of short stories written for her former employer’s Writing Club. This story, like week 3. imagines a library that has developed services out of its core value of privacy-- with the added challenge of considering the ROI of algorithms.
Schoolpocalypse
Over the past two and next few weeks, I (Jenny Trevino, IVAN Library’s Librarian) have been/will be posting a series of short stories I wrote for my former employer’s Writing Club. The first week, I posted a story in which I had the idea of making Andrew Carnegie answer for his sins. In the remaining stories, I was trying to imagine ways in which the concept of a library might evolve in a future that has moved on from even the non-traditional services that are currently being presented as constituting a library’s post-print portfolio.
The prompt for this story was generated by drawing a slip of paper with a notable public figure’s name on it.

Graduation Party
Last week, I posted a story in which I had the idea of making Andrew Carnegie answer for his sins. In the remaining stories, I was trying to imagine ways in which the concept of a library might evolve in a future that has moved on from even the non-traditional services that are currently being presented as constituting a library’s post-print portfolio. This story imagines a library that is keeping its doors open as an event space.
