Granted, I am currently reading a book titled, "If you want to walk on water, you've got to get out of the boat!" by John Ortberg. However, I have found that the concepts within these covers definitely carry a great deal of weight. Why should we fear taking chances in the library world rather than succumbing to failure? Maybe if we stepped out of that "comfort zone" or "box" and took some chances, we would grow and the benefits of that growth would resonate to our library communities!
If you are interested in the topic of risk taking, please feel free to explore articles published in Library Technology Reports, Library Trends, and Teacher Librarian to get you started.
