As a librarian with over 30 years experience in public and state libraries, library associations, and not-for-profit organizations, George can help YOUR institution think strategically, enabling you to understand your clientele thoroughly and create a future that keeps you at the heart of your community.

   From his years of experience leading libraries and working with library staff of all types, George understands the many challenges that we face in the profession today: How do we stay relevant in a networked, 24/7 world? How do we make the case for continued funding from public sources in difficult economic times? And, perhaps most important, how do we find the spark that makes us passionate library champions?
