The ARSL Professional Development Book Club is now the ARSL Professional Resource Discussion Group! A few times a year we invite members and nonmembers to come together to discuss a selection of resources on a specific topic of particular interest to the needs of library professionals working in small, rural libraries. The Continuing Education Committee will curate a list of suggested reading and listening material in a variety of formats and lengths in an effort to provide right-size resources for every schedule.
