“There’s this idea that work is supposed to be awful, and so, low morale is supposed to be in our organizations. I do not believe that. Low morale is not the default… there is a possibility for people working in libraries to enjoy their work and not be abused and neglected.” – Kaetrena Davis Kendrick

Check out the first of our two-part conversation! (Head to Part 2)
