Readers' Advisory for Library Staff

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ReadersAdvisory/

Questions about other forms of media are also welcome! Join our Goodreads group: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/211135-readers-advisory-for-library-staff

Tiny Library Think Tank

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1547323442210920/
Welcome to the Tiny Library Think Tank!... Please feel free to ask questions about anything related to issues that affect those of us working in very small library systems - collection development, programming, policy creation, community outreach, retroactive automation, book repair, building maintenance, and more. Members of this group understand that tiny libraries do not often have HR departments, retained lawyers, multiple MLS-degreed librarians, or many other resources that are available to employees of larger library systems, even systems that may technically be considered "small" or "rural".
