1 Embrace Tech

To stay relevant, librarians must embrace technology wholeheartedly. Familiarize yourself with the latest digital resources and tools that can aid in information retrieval and management. This includes learning about databases, e-books, online archives, and even the basics of coding if it can help automate certain library functions. By becoming tech-savvy, you can guide patrons through the digital landscape, ensuring they benefit from all the library has to offer.

Before adopting a new technology, ensure that it aligns with your library's mission statement. More often than not, adoption will match an organization's goals of meeting the informational/recreational needs of the community--but not always! In an era of surveillance technology, we must ensure that we're not abandoning our professional ethics in pursuit of a "shiny object".

2 Digital Literacy

As a librarian in the digital age, you play a crucial role in promoting digital literacy. You can organize workshops and classes to teach community members how to effectively search for information online, evaluate sources for credibility, and use digital tools responsibly. By empowering your patrons with these skills, you not only make them more informed users but also demonstrate the library's value as a hub for learning and technology.

The importance of inforamtion and digital literacy is currently amplified by the necessity for AI literacy, as it is clearly stated in numerous US and EU formal documents. The foundation established by digital literacy is a factor for the faster and deeper understanding of AI literacy; without the first one, the latter will be difficult and labor intensive to share with patrons.

3 Community Focus

Librarians must focus on the community's needs to stay relevant. Understand the unique demographic you serve and tailor your services to fit their interests and requirements. This might mean curating a digital collection that reflects local history or offering programs that address specific community issues. By positioning the library as a central, responsive part of the community, you ensure its ongoing relevance and importance.

In today's fast-paced digital world, we've lost something important: the "third place." This is a free space that's not home or work, where we can spend time with others or be by ourselves. Libraries can play a vital role in filling this gap by becoming a place where everyone in the community can meet, connect, learn, and share ideas. This is essential not only for the community but also for the library itself. By focusing our efforts, we can create morning and evening activities and spaces that encourage people to make the library a part of their daily routine.

Collaboration is key to keeping library services fresh and pertinent. Work with schools, local businesses, and other organizations to create programs that benefit the entire community. This could involve setting up joint educational initiatives or sharing resources. Such partnerships not only expand the reach of library services but also strengthen the library's role as a community pillar.
