in on this growing trend. Seed libraries are community-based collections of seeds that are shared and distributed among members. People are invited to take a small selection of seeds to start their own garden, and they are encouraged to save seeds from the
resulting vegetables, fruits, and flowers to restock the library. Adding a seed collection to your library can help build community in a new way, promote biodiversity, and help address food access and insecurity issues.

introduce practical approaches to preserve organizational knowledge, clarify processes for current staff and trustees, and ease the learning curve for new employees. With higher turnover rates and the ever-changing nature of our work in libraries, procedures
and policies should be updated and adapted proactively, instead of reactively, to ensure that work is accomplished by well-prepared staff, ready to meet changing community and organizational needs. From payroll to password management, and from job evaluations
to janitorial, the various facets and functions of the library can be clarified to better support all staff transitions. Learn how both short- and long-term transitions can be navigated effectively and purposefully with a $B!H(Btransition readiness checklist,$B!I(B
moving both library staff and trustees toward a shared understanding of roles and expectations across the organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the skills, and feel prepared, to manage what comes through the doors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
