The volume on "Challenges to Library Learning: Solutions for Librarians" provides insight into practical philosophy for engagement that can be applied to address the growing obstacles faced by librarians, such as staffing shortages, reduced training budgets, longer working hours, increased workloads, and quickly evolving technology that prevents staff members from continuing their education in library science. The authors have experience in library administration, they provide an efficient strategy for motivating students to take a goal-based, individualized strategy to learning and assisting libraries in becoming more effective, productive, and user-centric. The Community of Learning Program (CLP) for library employees identifies the specifics of creating and implementing a training program, overcoming staff detachment, accepting e-learning as a regular learning model, teaching and evaluating information literacy training, and developing a flexible alternative staffing strategy which are among the topics covered. This volume is suitable for anyone involved in or interested in following a career in library administration and finding solutions for librarians. Reading should ideally occur in a quiet environment, at a consistent time each day so that library users become accustomed to the routine. Their consistent reading practice must be an institutional need, with more efforts made towards avoiding disturbance or cancellation.
