More 2021 Resolutions: Abby the Librarian

Today I would like to bring you a fourth example in my series of posts where I am highlighting library workers who work in RA Service and Collections Development who have posted assessments of their 2020 goals and have set new ones for 2021.

Click here to see the other posts in this series, including my own.

Next up is my friend Abby the Librarian. Abby does collection development in Southern Indiana, right across the river from Louisville. On her blog she shared both her assessment of 2020 and her goals for 2021 in this post.

Below is the intro to her post. Please click here, on the graphic below or at the end of her intro to enter her blog and see how Abby took the time to look back on 2020 before forging ahead into 2021. 

Thank you to Abby for allowing me to share her experiences with all of you. Please note that I am still accepting guest posts from other library workers willing to share their assessments and goals. Don't think it is too late to either go through this process yourself or to help others by allowing me to share your work. Contact me if you are still interested. The more examples I have, the better it is for everyone.

Now back to Abby the Librarian.

Happy 2021! It's definitely a year like no other. Maybe you feel like this is a year to give yourself some grace and take it easy. Maybe you feel optimistic about changes you want to make. Are you planning on making some reading resolutions this year? 

As you can see, I'm already late to the game, but part of my plan for the year is to practice grace for myself. If 2020 taught me anything it's that being uber-focused on productivity and optimization is not the best. Sometimes you need some space to take a breath, to rest, to refocus, or just to get through your day.

That said, I do have some reading goals for myself this year, and I'm curious what yours are (if you have any - it's totally fine if you do not!). 

But first... deep breath and let's look back at last year's reading resolutions...
