Customer experience is the sum of all interactions a customer has with an
organization and its products over the duration of the relationship. It can also include the feelings that has a customer towards the organization based on their perceived beliefs about the organization.

@infoactivist #MNLib14
Humans naturally seek comfort and stability. Without an inciting incident that disrupts their comfort, they won’t enter into a story. They
have to get fired from their job or be forced to sign up for a marathon. A ring has to be purchased. A home has to be sold. The
character has to jump into the story, into the discomfort and the fear, otherwise the story
will never happen. -Robert McKee

You don’t know a story is happening to you when you’re in it. You slide into the flow of it
like a current in the ocean; you look back at the beach and can’t see the umbrella, and your
hotel is a quarter mile behind you.

One of the best means of making a library popular is to mingle freely with its users, and help them in every way. When this policy is pursued for a series of years in any town, a very large portion of the citizens receive answers to questions, and the conviction spreads through the community that the library is an institution of such beneficent influences that it can not be dispensed with. -Samuel Swett Green (1876).

Even now, as adults, there’s something in most of us that perks up and starts to listen when we hear those words. We love stories. And stories have always served important functions for us. They bring us together and reinforce our sense of community. They engage, amuse, enthrall, and titillate. And they teach: throughout history, before most people could read and write, stories, told by firesides and in village gatherings, were the mechanism by which we handed down laws and values, religions and taboos, knowledge and wisdom.
