Several months ago, my supervisor received an email that the Tennessee Library Association was accepting proposals for sessions for their annual … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: April 26, 2019

Representation matters. It's a lesson I've learned many times, and one that always bears repeating. This week, I had an outreach visit scheduled with a group that has been difficult for me. There are many issues at play, but suffice it to say that I've had a hard time finding the magic formula that helps … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: March 1, 2019
