If your library director were to depart or become incapacitated with little or no warning, how would the new (or interim) director learn to run the library? You never know what might happen tomorrow, so it is critical to the library’s continued well-being to leave a Transition Notebook. When the library’s director moves on, or when the unforeseen happens, the library’s staff and board will need this information as well.
If your library does not have a Transition Notebook, now is the perfect time to start one for your library. Just fill it in as you learn!
