Major library renovations, here defined as those requiring the removal of all staff and collections to one or more alternate locations, are especially challenging for both staff and patrons.

Extinguished: Exploring Librarian Burnout, Brittany Hickey, Jade Geary
South Carolina Libraries
In “Extinguished: Exploring Librarian Burnout”, we shared results from our study on librarian burnout. The study surveyed current and former librarians, as well as library school students. The focus of the study was to determine if there is a link between working while in library school and later experiencing burnout as a librarian. We hoped to discover the prevalence of librarian burnout, determine if burnout is more common in LIS professionals who worked while enrolled in graduate classes, and begin a conversation about the realities of our profession.

Strategies include a customer experience design focus, reallocation of staff office space, use of color, selection of flexible furnishings, and integration of public art.

Baby Steps To Big Impacts: The Evolution Of Library Involvement In The Textbook System, Amie D. Freeman, Tucker Taylor
South Carolina Libraries
This article will discuss how textbook support and open educational resources (OER) have become critical considerations in the evolving library landscape. For years, textbooks have been the purview of the teaching staff at our colleges and universities, but libraries can no longer ignore the high costs, both societal and financial, of the current textbook environment. Library involvement in the textbook dilemma has come in three phases: chosen ignorance, meeting the immediate need, and striving for sustainable solutions. We will discuss each of these phases and will detail the University of South Carolina Libraries’ involvement in the textbook system. We will …

Reflections On A Lifetime Of Reading, Frederick W. Guyette Mr.
South Carolina Libraries
Here I give an account of my life as a reader. The first books I remember enjoying are those that were read aloud on Captain Kangaroo, such as Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Story about Ping, and Stone Soup. When I was a little older, in school we learned about science and current events from the stories in Weekly Reader. This was followed by an interest in baseball and the sports page in the local newspaper. In high school, I was more interested in films than books, but “visual literacy” has it place in life, …
