This column will provide guidance from experienced directors and is a place where you can ask real or difficult questions. You can expect tips, advice, best practices, and tough love in this column. This is not a column for legal or human resources questions – those are better suited to Ask the Lawyer. But if you have a question that needs a thoughtful answer from the perspective of someone who has been through it before, this is the place for you. We welcome questions from all types of libraries and any of our member organizations, and we hope to feature other columnists who have specific expertise to share based on the questions that we receive.
If you are an experienced director or leader with specific expertise you are willing to share, send a message to Laura Osterhout with your interest.
