Better Library Leaders-- Library Leadership Skills For School, Public, Academic, And Special Librarians

Welcome to the first full-length episode of Better Library Leaders! Today’s show features a neat discussion with Elspeth Olson, a fellow library podcaster (NPS Break Room Chat) as well as a librarian at the American Bookbinders Museum, a workplace that features a working book Guillotine. Elspeth is also the Chair-elect of the ALA's Library Management and Leadership Association's New Professionals Section. In the Spotlight segment, I share a recent unpleasant encounter I had with our trash dumpster and a mud puddle, and consider the lessons I learned about handling a rough day as a library leader. Oh, and I get a little snarky about library cats in the News roundup. Please don't unsubscribe, I love cats and I am owned by two of them. (I'm just not on board with the idea of them living in libraries...) ~~~~~ BLL Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/betterlibraryleaders/?ref=br_tf FREE Mastering Difficult Conversations mini-course: http://betterlibraryleaders.com/subscribe/ Knight News Challenge: ht
