Things I Learned in Retail That I Use as a Teacher-Librarian
A podcast by #thelibrarylife (aka Jonelle St. Aubyn)

Customer service, marketing, and “sales” are a part of what we do in our library learning commons to keep our students coming back and to encourage and entice new students to come. Having spent a number of years as a teenager, I’m amazing how often I use the skills that I learned in retail to help me as a teacher librarian. Interested? Check out this podcast to learn more!
