Talkback Board Repository

About this Tool

Talkback boards present questions or prompts for patrons to answer, either by voting for possible choices with sticky dots or by writing short responses on post-it notes. Talkback boards have become a centerpiece of the Capturing Connected Learning in Libraries (CCLL) project because of their broad practical appeal.
This resource provides a repository of prompts organized by common interests library staff may have. These prompts were created with our library partners, and during workshops the CCLL team held with library staff, reflecting their real-life programs. High level outcomes are listed above each section, and the prompts themselves include possible responses patrons might have about each outcome.
