The Post-Pandemic Library Handbook provides an approach for
re-opening, re-engineering and redesigning library facilities,
resources, services and staff. American Library Association
Past-President Julie Todaro developed this Handbook to provide a
path forward for all types and sizes of libraries. She uses
narrative and technical writing (with dozens of checklists,
examples, recommendations and 30+ tables) to take a detailed look
at where we are and where we need to be. Because no function,
resource or service was left unaffected by the pandemic, chapters
and tables allow readers to assign their own timelines to stages.
Handbook chapters include: Facilities: Services, Support, and
Storage Spaces; Collections and Resources; Assessment and
Accountability; Human Resources, Critical Training, and Education;
Communication during Emergency Events; Management and
Organizational Design: Unique Issues; Leadership during Extreme
Emergencies: The Pandemic; Pitfalls, Problems, Mistakes, and
Failures; Service Access and Delivery; and, Public Relations,
Marketing, and Branding. Appendices feature tools for operational
and strategic planning; an approach for prioritizing current and
upcoming pandemic information; and an annotated list of 28+
resources tracked during the COVID years to assist in updating data
for background and decision making.

Your library's future is as good as the talent you develop. Too
many mentorship programs are cursory; without structure and
expectations, they accomplish little beyond a procedural
orientation. But a solid, sustainable mentorship program can be a
game changer for libraries, with long-term results that include
career development, organization-wide professionalism, and
retention. Here, library leader Todaro offers an accessible guide
to putting mentorship into practice, complete with scanning
checklists and critical questions that will assist you in
designing, planning, and implementing your own program. Bypassing
abstract management theories in favor of succinct action items,
this book includes: Four case-method scenarios that will prepare
you for making decisions in common mentoring situations A
discussion of mentor, mentee, reverse-mentoring, and co-mentoring
terminology, and how to choose the best language to shape the
expectations of your program Tips on how to apply nine measurements
you probably already use for evaluation, plus five new ones that
will make your program even more effective Suggested content and
events in a mentorship curriculum, with sample goals, job
descriptions, and advice on program planning Ways to address
objections to a mentorship program Administrators at all types of
institutions will benefit from Todaro's sensible, to-the-point
insights into creating and sustaining a mentorship program.
