IDWTDTNY- Boundaries & Saying No
Charity, Cathy, and Laura discuss our emotions surrounding "other duties as assigned," work that we do that isn't necessarily Library work or what where our passions lie. If you are sick of being the one who puts in the tech tickets or agonizes as testing coordinator or can't stand the hassle of a book fair, you're in some good company with this episode as we offer some suggestions on how to navigate those assigned tasks.

Building the Library Collection in the Age of Book Challenges

This is not a how-to episode for handling a complaint or challenge. We urge all of our librarians to familiarize themselves with district policies regarding challenging or objecting to school materials as well as having a clear collection development policy for purchases.</p> <p>For full show notes, including book titles, recommendations, and tips visit <a href="http://techplusbookspod.net/">TechPlusBooksPod.net</a></p>
