Side Hustles for People Who Rarely Go Online

If you barely have enough time to go online, you'll want a side hustle that's low-maintenance, flexible, and doesn't require constant attention. Here are a few options:

  1. Print-on-Demand Store: Create simple designs for t-shirts, mugs, or notebooks. You can use platforms like Redbubble or Teespring, where they handle printing, shipping, and customer service. Your main task is to create and upload designs, which can be done in short bursts of time.

  2. Selling Digital Products: If you have expertise in a particular area, you can create digital products like eBooks, templates, or printables. These can be sold on platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, or my favorite platform, Creative Fabrica. After the initial creation, the products can generate passive income with minimal ongoing effort.

            Here's my online store on Creative Fabrica if you need an  example (this is also an affiliate link): https://www.creativefabrica.com/designer/ruby-cari-galvez/ref/2135193/
  1. Stock Photography or Illustrations: If you're into photography or design, you can upload your work to stock photo websites like Shutterstock or Adobe Stock. Once uploaded, your images can keep earning money without requiring more of your time.

  2. Affiliate Marketing on a Blog or Social Media: If you already have a blog or a social media presence, you can incorporate affiliate links into your content. Whenever someone makes a purchase through your link, you earn a commission. It's a passive way to earn once the content is created.

            Thus far, I am an affiliate of Creative Fabrica and Fiverr.
  1. Audiobook Narration: If you have a pleasant speaking voice and enjoy reading, you can narrate audiobooks. This can be done in short sessions when you have time, and once the book is done, it can continue to sell.

These side hustles allow you to work in small increments and build a stream of income without needing to be constantly online.

Best Practices for Library Collaborations and Partnerships with Other Organizations

  Library collaborations and partnerships can work if we consider several factors, many of which have a lot to do with the cultural and economic climate of the region where your library is located.  Similar Perspectives  Unless all organizations in the collaboration agree that “a community can help raise a child reader,” the entire project will be in jeopardy.  We should never forget that there are people that do not believe libraries are still relevant, and if the organization the library is partnering with secretly or outrightly believe so, then the project is doomed from the start.   Examples of Library Collaborations  Some partnership projects your library can join are the following:   a book drive for disaster areas  workshops for slow readers (children/adults)  a recurring storybook reading session  Challenges of Library Collaborations One can dream that all library partnerships will be smooth-sailing, but experience tells us this is never true.

The Wife Between Us by Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks: Review of a Psychological Thriller

" The Wife Between Us" is a psychological thriller written by the dynamic duo of Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks. It presents a narrative so engrossing that it's hard to pull away once you dive in.  I chose to read this book because I have a penchant for stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, trying to solve the puzzle alongside the characters. A recommendation from a friend, who couldn't stop talking about the unexpected twists, further sealed the deal. Summary This captivating story revolves around Vanessa, her ex-husband Richard, and his young, seemingly naive fiancĂ©e, Nellie. The tale might initially appear to be a simple love triangle, but as you read on, the multiple layers and intricate details start to unfold, making it anything but. The characters grapple with issues like jealousy, control, and complex emotional baggage. The plot is skillfully designed to keep you second-guessing the true motives of each character, making it a riveting read from s

What Librarians Do in 2024: Keeping Up with Everyone's Needs

Libraries are accessible to everyone... and we mean EVERYONE! Hey there! I'm a librarian, and if there's one thing I know, it's that libraries are not just about books anymore. They're about people – all kinds of people. And in 2024, our job is to make sure we're keeping up with what everyone needs, even as those needs keep changing. So, how do we do that? Let's dive in.   Getting to Know You   First up, we need to really understand who's using the library. This means looking beyond just the numbers and getting to know the community. What languages do they speak? What kind of information are they looking for? Do they need places to study, meet, or even just hang out? The more we know, the better we can be at making the library a welcoming place for everyone.   Technology is Our Friend   These days, almost everyone uses some form of technology, whether it's smartphones, tablets, or laptops. As librarians, we're jumping on this tech train too. We'r
