Dorothy Stoltz

Dorothy Stoltz is a professional librarian, author, consultant, mentor, and trainer. Her most recent book is Activate Peer Learning in Your Library and Community, Waldo Publishers, in 2023. Dorothy has decades of experience in the field of librarianship having served as programming and outreach manager and community engagement director. She firmly believes that the quality of our thinking and our love of learning are incomplete without the support of each other. Introduced to great thinkers in a 1994 creativity course, Dorothy immediately integrated creative thinking tools into her profession. She has pulled together teams of wonderfully talented people to help create book content, for example: Inspired Thinking (2020); Transform and Thrive (2018); Inspired Collaboration (2016), and others with the American Library Association. She is owner of Waldo Publishers, LLC, inspired by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
