Hi Friends! We're seeking panelists

Are you a retired library director? Let's talk!

Interest form: bit.ly/Retired-Libr...

#libraries #librarians #libraryDirectors #seekingPanelists

Active library directors often feel constrained from speaking out in their roles, and sometimes wish they could share their personal perspectives with staff, especially those who may be considering a path into administration themselves. We will deal with questions such as, “What is it like to represent higher-ups during difficult times? What did you wish your staff could see that is normally behind-the-scenes? What should librarians know who are considering moving into administration? What do you wish you could have done differently?” This will be a free, hour-long webinar in which the panelists will interact with each other and take questions from the audience.
