    Hello colleagues,
    My name is Jessica Styons, and I am a PhD student at Adler University conducting research for my dissertation, which explores the lived experiences of public library directors in the United States and the practices they use to maintain resilience and well-being amid today's challenges.
    I am seeking public library directors who have been working in the United States since at least 2020 (with no more than a 12-month gap in employment during this time) to participate in a confidential 60-to-75-minute interview conducted via Microsoft Teams. Your insights could help shed light on an important topic in our field.
    If you are interested or have questions, please see the flyer for more information and a link to the screening survey or email me at the address below. You may also go directly to the screening survey: Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management
    Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to research that centers the voices and experiences of public library leaders and please feel free to share this with others.

    Best regards,

    Jessica Styons
