At the Core

Professionalism

Ask anyone in a library and they'll agree that the profession is a community of collegiality, diversity, respect and collaboration. The library and information professions are committed to staffing libraries with educated and qualified people. Providing the highest level of service to the public demands that people who work in libraries have the highest level of knowledge and skills, so continuing education - through conferences, workshops, etc. - is a big part of a career in libraries (don't think you're going to be done learning once you get that piece of paper).
