In this episode, I’m joined by Lara Price and Rachel Huskisson to explore what happens when school library management goes wrong. We discuss the consequences of poor leadership and redundancy, the emotional and professional toll it can take, and how reflection, resilience, and lifelong learning can turn challenging experiences into opportunities for growth.
Our conversation offers practical advice for librarians navigating difficult management situations, examines the evolving role of school libraries in an age of AI, media, and information literacy, and reinforces the enduring importance of reading. We also share valuable resources and sources of support for those seeking to move forward positively.
