The Essentials: Library Values

Description

Library values appear in many places - alongside organizational mission and vision statements, in professional associations and collaborative work, and in many policies and procedures that guide day-to-day operations. A broad understanding of library professional values can help put our work in context, while also fortifying our advocacy efforts for when values are scrutinized or even changed. This session will review many of the traditional values associated with libraries while highlighting their uses and importance. Whether new to libraries and interested in unpacking some of the language of the profession or seasoned in library leadership and seeking to re-center our important work, this session can provide useful information on our values and purpose.
