Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-07 00:00:00 Horace Gordon IV Curious to get some practical understanding of stresses & obligations people are going through, this was a helpful read. Librarians are generally busy people with a lot of stuff going on! Even without the specifics of projects deadlines, internal meetings & staffing, this book seems to cover a lot of areas. I was exhausted just reading about what basic stuff supervisors have to go through to get through a week. Time is truely a precious commodity.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-13 00:00:00 Kelly Nash A great handbook for first time library supervisors as it provides templates for important things such as meeting minutes, memos, noncash incentives, and more. It also discusses the all too real fact that the majority of library workers are baby boomers, but there are also some veterans, generation Xers, and generation Yers in there too that require specialized treatment and incentive programs. It doesn't discuss running the library from the customer stand point, but from the worker stand point and so you would have to supplement it with titles that discuss dealing with difficult people, customers, children, and so on as well.
