A Note from the Executive Director
With so many libraries getting ready for their Staff Development Days, I can’t help but reflect on how meaningful these days have been in my own library journey. Some of my favorite memories from my time working in libraries are from Staff Days. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in, help plan, and even present at these special events. No matter the role, I always came away feeling inspired and reconnected to the heart of library work.
Staff Development Days offer a valuable opportunity to step away from daily routines, focus on growth, and reconnect with the “why” behind the work we do. Whether your day includes workshops, team-building activities, or time to reflect and recharge, it’s all about investing in yourself and your colleagues. If you’re participating in your library’s Staff Day next week, I hope you make the most of it! Enjoy the sessions, the conversations, and maybe even a few good snacks. Here’s to a day filled with learning, connection, and appreciation for the incredible work you all do every day! Ragan |
