I would imagine the word "nerd" in litnerd is a bit of a putoff to the student population you're targeting. Is that not the case? Or are you also trying to get them to embrace that word as positive?
- Anisa_Mirza 5y agoThanks for question. In all honesty, out of 14k nyc students not 1 complaint about the name so far :) Litnerd is kind of a known endearing name librarians and English/literacy majors use describe each other. And on the other hand, we play up the “lit” aspect for the older kids. Because dungeons and dragon themed choose your own adventure stories is exactly that: lit :) Either way, we just haven’t had students of schools hate the name as much as I think some on HN have (which is totally cool. Happy to hear different views).
