Common ground for academic librarians and knowledge workers to share, adapt and cultivate our craft together, and a space to question, test and teach new tools, because none of us can keep up alone.
A community garden we tend together lasts longer than a single clipped stem.

Open the Tool Shed →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 email me anytime with feedback or ideas. I’m excited to see where this goes. 🙂 And yes, I’ll keep the cheesy plant puns coming. Happy blooming! 🌻
