Meer oor hierdie e-boek
In March of 2020, the world workforce moved to work remotely - challenging the nature of what librarians accomplish while not being in their buildings and how libraries serve communities with their doors closed. While the initial move to remote work was forced, voices emerged that questioned why librarians couldn’t work remotely for extended periods of time as part of their regular jobs.
Librarians are uniquely positioned to move themselves to remote work, while also maintaining connections to their patron base and their colleagues – but where to start? Stepping outside the traditional library space, librarians can carve out a space to work remotely while still retaining the ability to reach our patrons, provide access to quality programming, pave the way for libraries to share information, promote resources, and even lead change in their communities.
With times changing and our profession adapting so quickly, this practical how-to guide will help librarians set up an office space, set a routine, and adapt, plan, create, implement, manage, and evaluate their programs and services to the best of their ability in order to unleash their library’s potential to engage and wow their patrons and communities. With worksheets and templates, anecdotes about what works easily and what might prove challenging, this book is ideal for today’s librarian.

Meer oor die skrywer
Molly Virello is the head of the Children’s Department at a library in Connecticut. She earned her MLIS on the other side of the world in New Zealand. She worked in libraries there for a year, bringing storytime fun and summer reading excitement to Wellington and surrounding towns, before she accepted a position in CT, and came home.
Virello has been the storytime librarian at her library for over 8 years, and has recently been promoted to the Head of Children’s Services. She still brings loud fun and learning to the under 14 set. When the Coronavirus pandemic hit, and libraries everywhere were sent to work from home, she was instrumental in leading her team into setting up a productive work environment from home, bringing their programming, reference, and interaction solely online, and maintaining relationships with her library’s patrons.
