Episode 26: Starting Over Is a Skill with Heather Hornor
Twenty-five years in, Heather Hornor got laid off and had to start over again.
In this episode of The Library Stage, Amanda Hunt welcomes Heather Hornor, an educator, librarian, and library administrator in public education for twenty-five years in Texas and now in Portland, Oregon.
She's started over a lot: classroom to a 300-student elementary library, elementary to a 5,000-student high school, campus to district admin, and now back again, and she's built a method for it.
Pick two to three goals for your first year, fully expecting to finish one or two. Half a goal is still movement. And don't measure your year one against someone else's year twenty.
Then lead with what you already know. Heather calls it flaunting your knowledge: she walked into a brand-new district in a brand-new state and landed on the leadership team because she showed what she brought to the table.
Pillar: 🩵 Discovery
💡 Steal-this-idea: Find your state's Law for Librarians trainer.
🛠️ Resources:
- ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom — how to find your Law for Librarians trainer
- Mentimeter — Heather's favorite tool, especially for adult learning and PD. Polls, simple presentations, and a real way to interact with an audience.
Plus, stick around for her Curtain Call featuring:
- 📖 The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker — the Trojan War retold from the women's side. An older title, accessible, and, from a self-described Greek mythology nerd, impossible to overstate. Especially good if the new Odyssey adaptation has you thinking about Homer.
