New Book Review: Clarissa Ihssen reviews The Kind Librarian: Cultivating a Culture of Kindness and Wellbeing in Libraries by Helen Rimmer.

Read it online for free from C&RL: bit.ly/crl-863-5

New Book Review. The Kind Librarian: Cultivating a Culture of Kindness and Wellbeing in Libraries by Helen Rimmer. Published in 2024 by Facet Publishing. "As a former library administrator and the founder and current owner of The Kind Brave Leader, Rimmer brings unique expertise and recommendations to the library world."

Review Excerpt.

"Ultimately, The Kind Librarian is a valuable guide full of applicable reflection questions and activities for incorporating kindness, empathy, and holistic wellness into a library work environment. All these concepts can be applied by anyone on any level at any kind of library, which is the book’s most appealing point. Occasionally, chapters feel redundant as the frameworks and steps often overlap even when dealing with different topics, such as conflict resolution or a toxic work environment. The repetitiveness is useful, though, for readers who skip to the specific sections most applicable to them or their workplace. The book is best for managers, or for informal leaders, who are trying to make healthy cultural changes in their workplaces."

Reviewed by Clarissa Ihssen for College & Research Libraries (C&RL).
