Submission Form: \u00a0https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/wny3vqnKvRRsLVxz1<\/a><\/p>\n

We are soliciting a diverse range of essays and narratives from practicing U.S. academic, public and special libraries staff, for inclusion in a curated anthology that empowers library employees to change real-world issues pertaining to library staff. Submissions may include any phase of project development, but we are especially seeking: perspectives and advice on how to make and implement change, how to talk to administration about needs, the specific steps taken in the process, solutions to roadblocks and recognition of the future needs of staff. We also seek narratives, steps and ideas from administrators on how to implement and create a positive work environment and the challenges faced in this process.\u00a0 Paraprofessional staff and first-time authors are encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n
