Today's blog is one written by a young professional in the Recreation Sector and expresses some of her very personal feelings & insights and some learnings.

Wendy Newman "It is very difficult for me to write about Maureen, a professional colleague who became a close personal friend.  Her contributions as a library leader have been many and lasting – locally, where she served local and regional systems in Saskatchewan; provincially, as a leader of ground-breaking provincial planning and implementation in SK, AB, and BC; and nationally, as a leader of PTLDC at a time of national collaborative visioning.  Always she showed the same strengths in her approach – identify and listen to the stakeholders, do the research, build community, work collaboratively, understand the priorities of the decision-makers and reflect them back, avoid narrowness and partisanship, and above all, think big.   She was the best “translator” of government to libraries and libraries to government that I ever worked with.  It is so evident in the BC strategic plan, which takes the premier’s focus on literacy and crafts an action plan to mak...
