Why it is never too early think about your development
Working in public libraries is extraordinary. Every day brings a new learning experience. The variety of roles, and really understanding and meeting our communities’ and partners’ needs is hugely rewarding. There is enormous value in recognising and reflecting on that continuous professional development (CPD).
Tapping into that can be the key to increased confidence, satisfaction and progression.
When thinking about CPD there is a huge spectrum for you to draw from. From every day interactions through to formal qualifications. It is never too early in your library role to be thinking about how to engage.
