| book description |

This practical guide, written from different perspectives and applying to all library types, explains how to create healthy library workplaces. While library work is often imbued with a strong sense of purpose and mission, it’s still work—messy, rewarding, complicated. This book explores the five factors that influence both workplace engagement and job satisfaction for library workers: · culture and work environment · leadership · workload · recognition · meaning Learn how to critically examine these five factors and understand meaningful ways to positively implement them. The expert contributors to this volume represent many types of libraries and points of view, including BIPOC writers and those from other marginalized groups as well as librarians from small and large libraries, rural and urban libraries, and academic, public, and school libraries. This book is written for everyone in a library—leaders, librarians, and other staff can all contribute to making their library a better workplace. Readers will appreciate the hands-on guidance for improving not only the organizational functioning of the library, but the human functioning as well.
