What is a Conscious Librarian?
Conscious Librarian concepts are rooted in ancient Eastern beliefs, as well as Western psychology. to be “conscious” or mindful is to be aware—so we can identify the difference between reacting to our Patrons from our egos or emotions and guiding them from the calmer, centered state of who we truly are. It’s all about the ability to be in the moment in any situation that arises.
