In March of 2020, the world workforce moved to work remotely - challenging the nature of what librarians accomplish while not being in their buildings and how libraries serve communities with their doors closed. While the initial move to remote work was forced, voices emerged that questioned why librarians couldn’t work remotely for extended periods of time as part of their regular jobs. Librarians are uniquely positioned to move themselves to remote work, while also maintaining connections to their patron base and their colleagues – but where to start? Stepping outside the traditional library space, librarians can carve out a space to work remotely while still retaining the ability to reach our patrons, provide access to quality programming, pave the way for libraries to share information, promote resources, and even lead change in their communities. With times changing and our profession adapting so quickly, this practical how-to guide will help librarians set up an office space, set a routine, and adapt, plan, create, implement, manage, and evaluate their programs and services to the best of their ability in order to unleash their library’s potential to engage and wow their patrons and communities. With worksheets and templates, anecdotes about what works easily and what might prove challenging, this book is ideal for today’s librarian.
