Being a successful librarian means more than knowing how to catalog, read a MARC record, or find resources for a student writing a paper. It means having soft skills that fill in gaps when theory and technical knowledge don’t answer patron questions or tell you how to be a team player. Join Melissa Lockaby to learn some of the knowledge, skills, and abilities that aren’t covered in a classroom, why they are important, and how they can make you a better librarian.
Join Matt Conner and Leah Plocharczyk for a detailed case study of the first reading club for those with ID at an academic library. This club is based on the model of the Next Chapter Book Club, a grass-roots movement for those with ID. Matt and Leah will address how these practices can be applied in public, academic, and school libraries at modest cost and their potential for creating new service models and meeting our professional goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
