I am excited about Steven Bell‘s (Associate University Librarian for Research and Instructional Services, Temple University and Library Journal Columnist) new book coming out in January 2016. Mission Bell Media Peak Series is publishing it.

The title is Crucible Moments Inspiring Library Leadership. The synopsis on the Mission Bell Media site reads, “This well-crafted collection shares the stories of high-profile librarians and their journey in leadership. Most often, these leadership roles weren’t by design, but rather living through defining crucible moments in their career. Interesting, candid and inspiring, these stories offer encouragement, guidance and humor. Appropriate for academic, public and school libraries.”

Take a look at the list of contributors and you will see yet another reason to get interested in this book!
