In this session participants will learn about the importance of values as a guide for all library roles.  Values translate to behaviours that we use ourselves and that we see demonstrated in others and are critical tools, particularly when facing challenges.  Being self-reflective about our own values and how they may impact others can assist in developing meaningful relationships that are rewarding for your own career as well as having tangible benefits for your community.

Catherine’s experience has covered the breadth of the library sector: public, academic, special, school and state libraries.  She will use her own experience as an example of how a focus on strengths, interests and values can be the basis for developing a rewarding and fulfilling career.
