The Library Support Staff Round Table (LSSRT) is dedicated to empowering and advocating for library support staff across Texas. As a vibrant community, we champion the essential roles that support staff play in ensuring libraries thrive and evolve.
We provide a collaborative space to share ideas, resources, and opportunities, fostering growth and development for library support staff. By connecting professionals from all backgrounds, we aim to inspire confidence, enhance skills, and promote recognition of their invaluable contributions to the library field.
We envision a future where library support staff are equipped with the tools, training, and networks they need to lead and innovate in their roles. Together, we’re creating a supportive, inclusive environment that celebrates achievements, amplifies voices, and drives the success of libraries across Texas.
From front-desk team members to behind-the-scenes specialists, the LSSRT represents the diverse array of professionals who keep libraries running smoothly. If you’re passionate about libraries and dedicated to supporting excellence, LSSRT is your community.
Join us as we strengthen the foundation of libraries and celebrate the people who make them extraordinary!
