In part II, Bob sits down with Dr. Kathi Inman Berens and Dr.Rachel Noorda from Portland State University. Kathi and Rachel speak about their presentation regarding Millennials and Generation Z, how they cope with the flood of information they have at their disposal, the challenges that presents and how it effects their reading habits. They explore the rise of graphic novel popularity within those generations, libraries as facilitators and safe spaces for these generations and how the libraries are adapting to attract this demographic. Whether it be makerspaces, podcastinsg, writing, or creating generation specific activities, libraries must pivot (as they have done in the past) to attract the new thinking in popular culture. There is also a lively discussion about people of color (BIPOC) visiting libraries at higher rates than the general population.
