We all agree people who work in libraries are amazing, right? It’s rare that we do just one or two things in our day-to-day job. We work with systems and people, print and electronic, old and new, bulk and unique. Even so, we can’t do everything, no matter how much someone wants us to. Thus this year’s theme: Choosing Your Battles. Our speakers will share how they re-examined and reshaped their workflows to meet modern needs and capacities. Make time for new skills within current duties. Discern best practices from outmoded habits.  Get buy-in to let go and say no.

Optional Tours:

After lunch, you are invited to join your colleagues on one of three tours of local collections.

• San Francisco History Center at SF Public Library

• Prelinger Library
