Retired Library Directors!!!!!! Announcement for You!

  • 1.  Retired Library Directors!!!!!! Announcement for You!

    Posted 21 days ago

    Good afternoon,

    I received an inquiry from Library Juice Connections, see below:

    Library Juice Connections is seeking panelists for a webinar discussion titled, "Retired library directors tell you what they always wished they could." It's based on the premise that 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. We aren't offering an honorarium; we're hoping to rely on your own interest in sharing with the next generation. Please contact Rory Litwin at rory@libraryjuiceacademy.com if you're interested. Thanks
