Challenges


Zero Sum Librarian


The Devil’s Advocate


Solutions


Innovation Catalyst Librarian


We are not interested in snail paced incremental change- but rather overhauling everything from policy to staff training, from technology to programming and more immediately.


We want to create an environment where you won’t just advise us on the next ‘big thing’— with only your own vision as the limit- you can CREATE the next big thing!


They will work in all areas of the Library so as to be versed in where and what improvements and change are needed.

It starts with us.
