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.

Person
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.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
