Thanks for a great #nyla2016 conference! Even bigger thanks for making it daylight savings weekend so we all can catch up on sleep now 📚😴

Anger=hurt, Hurt=sense of being alone or invisible. It's natural for someone to go to anger before honesty about what hurt them #nyla2016

When working w/ patrons with mental illness- Listen, Empathize, Acknowledge their feelings, & Partner to find a solution together #nyla2016

When haters say "That doesn't belong in a library" tell them "No, that THINKING doesn't belong in a library" #nakedlibrarianship #nyla2016

If you don't like the system, get promoted so that you can do what you want #makingchanges #nakedlibrarianship #nyla2016

We are Library Scientists...and what do scientists do? Experiment! Don't be afraid of failure #nakedlibrarianship #nyla2016

[Anne Fildes Brown @library_anne12]

Don't just explore your passion during break-in it in the open and you may find others are interested too #nyla2016

[Anne Fildes Brown @library_anne12]

At #nyla2016 so I apologize in advance for all of the #library tweets!

Look at patterns, don't focus on implementation. Open yourself to the challenge. .#InnovateMCLS

[Anne Fildes Brown @library_anne12]

Librarians are obsessed w/ collecting data to tell us what we're doing wrong but need to learn to trust our guts @natenatenate #innovatemcls

[Anne Fildes Brown @library_anne12]

You have to be willing to let projects die as they fizzle. Only try to run as many as your community will support #innovatemcls

[Anne Fildes Brown @library_anne12]

Find patrons who care about the future of your city and empower them to drive change that matters to the community #innovatemcls
