Rabbit and Tortoise: A Cooperative Wish-List Exercise for Libraries
Original feature Imagine a library wish-list exercise where two groups of community members create a list of books or resources they want to see added to the library. One group uses spoken questions to gather input, while the other uses a written survey. This original activity encourages gentle cooperation and open dialogue. Begin by dividing participants into two teams.
The first team uses spoken questions to ask each member about their interests, while the second team writes down responses on paper. After both groups complete their lists, compare the results and discuss which method better captures diverse opinions. Optional steps include setting a time limit for questions, using a planning notebook to track ideas, or assigning a facilitator to guide the conversation.
Questions to consider: How do spoken questions affect the depth of responses? Can written surveys capture more unique ideas? What role does collaboration play in creating a community-driven wish list?
