This is the time of year for resolutions, action plans and performance reviews.

Whether you have 8 hours or 80 hours in your vacation bank right now, you will earn some over the next year, so plan to use it! I hope that everyone reading this thinks that this is ridiculous and obvious. I hope so, but I doubt it. In 12 years of professional librarianship, this is the FIRST TIME I am planning my vacations...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/idaho-300x225.jpg"}
