- Summary:
- Learn, step-by-step, how to avoid or navigate burnout and reclaim the joy of the library profession while making a deep impact in your service community. In the face of burnout caused by book bans, program challenges, and waning resources, how can library workers sustain their own mental well-being and enjoyment of the profession, while continuing to offer top-notch programs and services to their community? Reframing your outlook on librarianship and community service is the key to reclaiming “library joy.” This book educates library workers at all levels on how to identify their own passions and a community need, then put it all together to build a bridge between interest and impact. Professional fulfillment is part of this journey, making this advice beneficial to both experienced and novice library workers. This hands-on workbook includes library program worksheets and evaluation quizzes for library staff use, all developed to support the reclamation of library joy.
