Originally presented in person on November 17, 2022, at the Waunakee Public Library and virtually via Zoom on November 29, 2022, with Rachel Arndt presenting.
When crisis management ends, what comes next? Library directors are managing a return to “normalcy” after a long cycle of fast-paced change. Approaching business as usual may not result in the same benchmarks of success. This workshop will provide tools and strategies for rebuilding the connections vital to a library’s success. Participants will examine self-management tools, learn approaches to renew relationships with staff and patrons, and identify prospective community partners.
