One is the loneliest number…or is it? To outsiders, solo librarianship can either look very lonely or like a safe-haven. Make no mistake, at times it can be either, or both.

Solo librarianship presents unique challenges and opportunities as well and it doesn’t have to a life sentence in isolation. We’ll discuss how to best tackle some of the issues that creep up and ways to maximize the potential of your library and your career.

From shameless self-promotion to time management, we’ll cover so much you won’t want to miss a second. After-all, solo librarians wear many hats, so let’s get started!

Presenter:  Anne Abate has worked in a wide variety of libraries and library-related organizations during her career.
