This pup was absolutely not digging in the dirt. Everybody knows that would require a permit. Thinks you have a whole lot of nerve accusing him of breaking municipal laws with no evidence. 12/10 (IG: san_francisco_rott)

Nope, no he doesn’t.

Manager tip… don’t follow your staff to their office first thing in the morning telling them stuff that could be an email.

True statement.

#LibCALM Do not equate success at job x (a non-managerial position) means the person will be successful in a managerial position.

#LibCALM Yes to reimagined coursework for LIS students re: management/leadership! 14 years ago, my class was budgeting and not really helpful HR (i.e. Johnny threw a stapler at Steve for no reason. Who should you write up?)

#LibCALM I wish my management class had covered more about institutional politics. That was eye opening when I got out of school and in libraries.

#LibCALM IMLS grant findings show most important managerial skills are soft skills not traditionally taught in school.

#LibCALM Effective leadership isn't about changing who you are.

This is Teo. He is conducting a very thorough sniff inspection. Not saying that giving him a treat will help you pass, but it wouldn’t hurt either. 12/10 (IG: itagure_teo_kobe)

#LibCALM True statement... managers have a hard time engaging in active listening. My late boss used to say we have two ears and one mouth for a reason.

#LibCALM The double standards women managers are judged against is incredible!

#LibCALM Authenticity is more than just a buzzword.

This is Jam. He said he was the highest jumping golden retriever in Ontario. May or may not have lied on his resume. Still 13/10 (IG: skythepupvlogger)

While micromanaging can begin from a place of good intentions, it ultimately tells employees you don't trust them. #LibCALM

Delegation is not abdication. #LibCALM

Fear of mistakes, identity, and perfectionism are all barriers to delegation. #LibCALM

Delegation helps prevent bottlenecks. #LibCALM

Next session at #LibCALM - The art of letting go (on delegation)

Protect your employees from overwork! #LibCALM

The cult of productivity... this is a really hard cult to kick when you're understaffed! #LibCALM

The opposite of achievement culture is to slow down to think about what is best. Don’t be driven by fear and the need for external recognition. - #LibCALM

Yes! Workaholism is a social accepted addition. #LibCALM

It’s #LibCALM time!!

#LibCALM 2026 starts in 24 hours! Are you ready for @librarianmer.bsky.social to give her keynote? We can't wait!

Maeve pretty frequently loafs, and each time I get the best warm fuzzy feelings 💕

Oh those ears!! 😍😍

There seem to be several conferences happening. As a reminder, don’t forget to tip housekeeping. They are often immigrants, not paid well, and have to clean up God knows what.

Our rights weren’t given—they were fought for and won by workers who refused to accept dismal working conditions. Today, working people carry their strength in our fight for justice. #MayDay

Earlier this week, the ALA released their 2025 Most Challenged Books Report. Thought top books are the headline, this is the data point that stands out to me, "92 percent of all book challenges were initiated by pressure groups, government officials and decision makers" not parents or teachers.

Sad day in the orchestral world. Michael Tilson Thomas, transformative music director of S.F. Symphony, dies at 81 www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Cue the happy dance… teaching film music today!!

This is Rex. He found a missing child in 12 minutes on his first tracking mission. "He’s kind of a triple threat," his handler said. He's trained as a therapy dog, explosive detection canine, and missing person tracker. When the girl was safe, Rex shifted to comfort mode. 14/10 (IG: arapahoeso)

The change affects borrowers using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) buyback program.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

I love this conference! If you are a manager or administrator in libraries, please consider taking advantage of this conference!

I'm reading Poppy by Kevin Henkes!

Came right home from work and wrote my senators and rep in DC.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled a word and it was the end of his political career?

What a thunderstorm while I was teaching! We have had so much rain! Going to need a boat soon…

This is Colby. He is movin, but more importantly, he is groovin. 13/10 (TT: ty2344583)
