Being a member of a national library organization and a state library organization, I should be able to pat myself on the back for “being involved”. But am I really? Yes, my money goes to those that throw themselves into the ring on a continual basis. But what have I done? I fill out the occasional survey, read the magazines and literature when they come through the mail, and I keep an eye on the legislative issues relative to my job. But is that enough?
I have neither the time nor the inclination to enter the realm of organizational politics. So does that make me a freeloader? Am I just resting on the laurels of those doing all the work? Or, am I a supporter, quietly going about the business of all things school librarian? I’d like to think the latter.
Every now and then I feel a nudge to get more involved, but then I get more of a nudge to say ‘I’m doing enough for now’. Let’s hope that’s okay for the Library Grand Pubas out there in the library world.
