Boost Your Career: How to Get Involved Professionally

Abstract

One of the things I love about librarianship, and youth librarianship in particular, is how much of a sharing profession it is. That’s not limited to just sharing program plans and ideas; it also includes sharing our experiences, our professional networks, and our advice to support one another in continuing to develop as professionals. So if you have a question about how something works in an organization, ask someone to share their experience with you,” said Amy Koester, the learning experiences manager at the Skokie Public Library in Skokie, Illinois. “And always be willing to share your experience with others, too.”
