This month, we celebrate the contributions of all of our nation's libraries and librarians. School Library Month and National Library Week are a great opportunity to raise awareness of your library's services in your community. How will you celebrate?
No matter the type of library — school, public, academic, or special — this month is the perfect time to reflect on your opportunities for career development. For this month's newsletter, we asked a "self-employed" librarian to share her insights on career planning. We'll also explore cost-efficient ways to honor and recognize the achievements of others in your library.
Don't forget to reserve your seat for our next Webinar, "Ten Tips to Effective Mentoring Programs," with trainer, consultant, and course author Paul Signorelli, Thursday, April 21 at 1 pm CDT. Space is limited, but a recording will be archived.
