Thursday, August 11, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour

Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/beyond-the-job-description.html

On paper, your job description as a library director may not cover some of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with serving a small or rural community. Juggling the nuances of a new position can be overwhelming, but equipped with a tool belt of everyday skills ranging from assessment to communication and outreach to time-management, you can move through your new role with confidence. This session will be useful for anyone interested in strengthening their role in the library, even if you aren’t a director. Come learn from a successful new director, 10 fresh tips for working with staff, boards, and the community to create a strong and vibrant library. Join us and bring your tips and ideas to help new directors succeed!

This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.

Presented by: Jennifer Pearson, Director, Marshall County Memorial Library (TN) and current board member, ARSL
