This book is relevant to the broad library community because it offers practical tools and strategies that can be used by librarians in different types of libraries, as well as leaders in the library sector to create a better work environment. -- Nikolina Štrbac * Zagreb Library Association * Overall, this book demonstrates that each chapter shows the author’s thoughtfulness and consideration to the learners. I highly recommend this to librarians, and even future librarians who would like to understand how learners learn and ways we can creatively adapt and engage as IL champions. -- Maria Preshaw * Journal of Information Literacy *
