Most librarians choose their careers based on the fact that they like to do core library work such as cataloging, collection development, or reference. But you might be surprised how far-removed the work of a Library Director is from core library work. Climbing the ranks to Director finds you crunching numbers, managing facilities, and navigating local politics. Is that really what you signed up for? In this webinar, Lynn Hobbs will talk about the range of duties that could fall under a Library Director’s job description, and will help you determine if it’s the right fit for you. 

  • Presenter:  Lynn Hobbs, Pendleton Public Library, Director 

  • Webinar date and time: Monday, August 10, 2020 / 10 am to 11 am, Eastern

  • This webinar is eligible for 1 LEU which will be available to download at the end of the webinar.
