Hi! I’m Christina. For a long time I was hoping for a clean, well-tended home for librarians and knowledge workers who teach (whether that’s a one-shot, a LibGuide or a reference interaction) to share their work openly, see who’s remixed or adapted it, and find community and tools, all in one place. I started building BLOOM during SUNYLA 2026 (June 16–18), where folks responded so warmly to the badges and interactive activities I shared in a presentation that I decided it was the right time to build it. And, like most projects I start, it took on a life of its own. So, welcome! Feel free to share and send me feedback. I’m excited to see where this goes. 🙂 And yes, I’ll keep the cheesy plant puns coming. Happy blooming! 🌻
