A review by olivia_piepmeier
Becoming a Reflective Librarian and Teacher by Michelle Reale
4.0
With a title like this, I couldn't not read it. It's a petite book that begs to be read slowly. Most of the book is talking the reader into and describing how they can bring reflection into their own existence as a librarian. I found the first half of the book to feel a little repetitive as someone who knows what it means to be reflective, but I found the repetition helpful to start a real *practice* of reflection. One chapter near the end is about how to work reflection into your library instruction and honestly I wish that one was a bit longer.
While the author makes no mention of feminism (unless I'm forgetting something) this is a very feminist work. Reflection by nature is feminist. I love seeing reflection and mindfulness being talked about in my profession so I'm quite happy this exists.
