Learn how to create a library culture that not only empowers and supports its staff but provides compassionate and innovative services, helping customers and communities thrive.
Everyone wants a supportive workplace where they are valued, trusted, and empowered. Library staff also want to serve the diverse needs of their customers and community. Is it possible to have both? Yes! Learn how to create and sustain a library environment where the needs of staff and customers are mutually supported without sacrificing efficiencies. You’ll discover how you can enhance employee satisfaction and performance while improving the quality of service provided to help build more successful communities.
Real-world scenarios show why simple policy changes like allowing food and drink in the library or permitting sleeping can demonstrate trust and why flexibility in scheduling wont result in complete chaos at your branch. This guide provides ways to break down silos between management and front-line staff to work together for the advancement of all.
The authors share on-the-ground examples of how to shift decision making from a follow the rules or else approach to a trauma-informed and flexible environment where the needs of both staff and customers are valued. Youll better understand how saying yes can improve your reputation, increase funding, and enhance your library’s value to constituents.
All levels of workers, from the newest library staffer to the CEO and governing board members, will benefit from this guidance—because everyone has a role in building a culture of teamwork, trust, and respect.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
