The more rules and regulations, the more overdues and fines. I enjoy peace and people become honest. I follow my profession and the community is enriched. I put others first and they in turn support the library. In caring for others and serving the community, there is nothing like using restraint.
Restraint begins with giving up one's own ideas.
This depends on confidence in yourself and your staff. If there is a good store of professionalism, then nothing is impossible. If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits. If a librarian knows no limits, then she is fit to be as director. The mother principle of running a library holds good for a long time.
