Absolutely! Applies to lots of other professions too. We have been low on staff members for various reasons this term but I have gained a lot from spending more hours doing issue desk work @RWCMDLibrary. It helps me focus on the core values of our service - the students 💕
Something I don’t think is discussed enough - how important it is for middle & senior leaders to remember what it’s like for a teacher ‘on the ground’ to teach full period days, often for 2-3 days back to back. Also, the accompanying markload, and inevitable cognitive fatigue.

Today - 20th November 2020 was my 20th work anniversary at @RWCMDLibrary. Seen a lot of changes in that time but wouldn't change a thing.

We love this video by @DukeLibraries showing how to use request and collect to get your library items! Our current system is very similar – don’t forget to request your items on our library catalogue and make an appointment to collect them. #LibraryTakeout

Please. Just stay home a little longer. Maybe go out for a quiet drink midweek instead. Stay local. Stay outdoors. Stay 2 metres apart. We've all of us sacrificed a lot over the past few months. Don't let it go to waste now. Please. 6/
