Wisdom Wednesday – (Most) Work Is Not That Serious

Especially for public libraries and doubly so having an RN wife who’s entire job is working with high risk pregnancies, knowing that every single day, the wrong decision could result in bad health outcomes or even death for a mother and/or baby. Here’s how I often frame it: “Libraries aren’t heart attacks and handcuffs even […]
