Future Ready Libraries are Diverse

This blog post spoke about the need for libraries to represent the diverse population that they serve. For hiring committees, instead of asking if the candidate fits into the organizational culture, leadership needs to embrace differences and be willing to change.

This is an important consideration for all libraries in Florida. The growth of Hispanic populations in Florida is evident, and professional librarians who reflect this culture are necessary for the profession.
