I've learned to run the collection, the cataloging, the care, the daily rhythm of it. But when the budget gets cut and I have to choose what we keep and what we let go, I freeze. Last quarter I had to decide what wouldn't get preserved, and I felt like I was quietly deciding which pieces of history simply wouldn't survive.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can run the collection, but the money and the hard choices about what to keep still overwhelm you.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
