How to Kill a young librarian’s love of librarianship
![Page 39: Themillenniallibrarian](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a3f64a1a28abda718b4771/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Do not allow out of the box thinking
• Award only those that maintain the status quo
• Blame people for failures
![Page 40: Themillenniallibrarian](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a3f64a1a28abda718b4771/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Tell them “NO”
• Do not allow new librarians to try out different duties. Limit them to their job descriptions.
• Maintain walls between departments

Demand unquestioning trust in what “you” do
Veteran librarians know best because that is the way it has always been done
