I mentioned a few books during the workshop:

Big Magic (Creative Living beyond Fear)  by Elizabeth Gilbert   - particularly when she talks about Trust and The Martyr vs the Trickster. Could libraries die quietly with dignity or put themselves out there and thrive with a lightness and trust?

The Art of Relevance by Nina Simon – her ideas are very relevant to libraries and she shares the book openly here  https://artofrelevance.org/    

Palaces for the People (How To Build a More Equal & United Society) by Eric Klinenberg – “Why have so many public officials and civic leaders failed to recognize the value of libraries and their role in our social infrastructure?” and  “If, today, the library didn’t exist, it’s hard to imagine our society’s leaders inventing it.”

Blindingly Obvious (The Beautiful Vision of Minnie B)  by Minnie Baragwanath, leader and blind social pioneer – and her project ‘The Most Accessible Book Ever’. Please get in touch if you’re interested in being a part of this.
