An interesting example of a library that has broken all the rules is the Anythink Library. They
don't have fines, they don't use dewey, and library staff have titles such as
"Wrangler", "Concierge" or "Guide". The library has a staff manifesto that states
that employees are ""part wizard, part genius, part explorer".
Lots of libraries are changing and creating new spaces with passionate people. Take a look at the job descriptions and see what you think...
Where you are part product placement, part inventory control, part display technician
Part customer education, part reference advocate, part event planning
Who wouldn't want to use their knowledge and experience to enable transformations every day?
