Managing Children’s Services: Leadership Lessons: The Messages Picture Books Bring Us
Abstract
I have worked in youth services for most of my twenty-year career as a librarian. During this time, I have had the privilege of serving on the 2010 Caldecott, 2017 Newbery, and 2021 Sibert Award Selection Committees.
I sincerely appreciate my fellow committee members who inspired me with their love of children’s literature and their passion for bringing stories to life for young people everywhere.
Throughout our deliberations, my colleagues demonstrated the power of genuine empathy, active listening, and a growth mindset. I utilize these skills daily in my current work as a leadership coach for library directors and managers.
