{"title":"My Experience as a Bridge","authors":"S. Shell","doi":"10.21061/VALIB.V57I2.1157","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21061/VALIB.V57I2.1157","url":null,"abstract":"he word “interim” means “an interval of time between one period or phase and another.” In many situations, an interim director or manager is someone who serves as a bridge, or “someone that provides a link, connection, or means of coming together.” I had the privilege of serving as interim director of my library system for six months. This appointment occurred two weeks after I completed the Virginia Library Leadership Academy. I entered my new role fresh with the many ideas and insights into good leadership that I had just learned at the academy. I am happy to report that I was able to apply much of the information presented by Dr. Robert Burgin, president of RB Software and Consulting Firm, who conducted the program. Though I lay no claim to being an expert on good leadership, I hope to share my thoughts and experiences and reinforce to myself the type of leader I strive to be. We are each surrounded by different circumstances and factors in our daily personal and professional lives. It is important for us to realize what our situations are; they may not be the best of all possibilities, but we have to accept them and move forward. No matter what we undertake, we must do the very best we can. Upon the retirement of the former director, I was appointed interim director of a library system of six locations, in addition to continuing as branch manager of one of the library branches. I quickly learned that being interim director involved more stress and difficulty than I had imagined. I am certainly no authority on leadership, and I have made and will continue to make my share of mistakes. But in looking back over my six months, I realize that I indeed gave it my best effort, and I look back proudly at the accomplishments and successes that I experienced. Now I’d like to share some of the things that I learned make for good leadership.","PeriodicalId":29991,"journal":{"name":"Virginia Libraries","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67763317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loudoun County Public Library: Try Poetry 2010 劳顿县公共图书馆:尝试诗歌2010

{"title":"Loudoun County Public Library: Try Poetry 2010","authors":"Linda Holtslander","doi":"10.21061/valib.v57i2.1155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21061/valib.v57i2.1155","url":null,"abstract":"n 2009, the Loudoun County Public Library adopted a five-year strategic plan that included a goal of building community to be developed through programming at the libraries and other locations. Given this mandate, the library looked for opportunities to bring citizens of all ages together through public programs of varying themes and formats that would reach out and appeal to a wide audience base. These offerings have been presented by both staff and professional presenters in library branches and venues in the community. The strategic plan also called for an enhancement of the educational partnership between the libraries and school system. While in the past library programming had been offered in many of the schools, a more consistent focus on reaching high school students and Juvenile Detention Center detainees was now regarded as a challenging priority. Given these directives, the library brainstormed to identify the one programming theme that could run throughout the year and would have the potential to accomplish many of the goals of the strategic plan. In 2010, the library system elected to commit their major programming efforts to providing new ways for the community to “bump” into poetry. This would be the first time the library sustained a single theme throughout the year. The deciding factors in selecting poetry as the main vehicle for programming were: • The possibility of sparking borderless conversations within the diverse community through the use of poetry and poets. • The opportunity to dismantle the often self-imposed barriers to poetry and show the reader/ listener that, within a few short lines, poetry can evoke in each of us the emotions to laugh, smile, think, and feel. Critical to the focus of the Try Poetry 2010 project was the facilitation of mini-workshops and Linda Holtslander is the division manager for programming, community relations, and development for the Loudoun County Public Library. She was a Fulbright Scholar to the Helsinki City Library in Finland from 2008–2009. While there, she participated in the Next Library initiative, whose main purpose is to share and build knowledge together. Try Poetry was the 2011 winner of the John Cotton Dana Award, the most prestigious award given for public relations. The award is sponsored by the American Library Association’s Library Leadership and Management Association and the H. W. Wilson Company.
