By shifting our attitudes, we have the capacity to move mountains in our daily lives. Join Gale and the Library of Michigan as we welcome JP Porcaro – a candidate for the ALA 2016-17 presidency – as he talks about the power that "effective positivity" plays in all aspects of our work: library advocacy, leadership and management, building and maintaining relationships, and facilitating change.

JP Porcaro is Head Librarian for Acquisitions and Technological Discovery at the New Jersey City University Guarini Library. He was the organizer and founding president of the ALA Games & Gaming Round Table (GameRT) and the ALA Comic Book & Graphic Novel Member Interest group. JP also served as a founding member of the ALA Think Tank (social media's largest space for librarians), a member of the Advisory Board of the EveryLibrary political action committee and the Social Organizer for Urban Librarians Unite, and an administrator for the Librarian Wardrobe blog.
