But, Johnson says, replacing Rubinstein has its perks. I knew Roz personally already, and that was another thing that was appealing to me about the job because I know for sure things have been done right, Johnson said. It s not like I m going to have to come in and clean things up. It gave me the opportunity of moving forward rather than having to troubleshoot.
Before she left, Rubinstein prepared a transition plan and the budget for this coming year, which has allowed Johnson to turn her attention to big-picture thinking. One of my goals would be to do a diversity scan of the library s collection, both the physical collection and the digital offering, because you want to reflect your community, but then you also want to introduce your community to cultures and backgrounds that aren t their own, Johnson said.
