Don’t assume that libraries are the “go-to” place for information
![Page 14: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Enticing, not explaining
![Page 15: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Don’t assume that people can’t find the “good stuff” on their own
![Page 16: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sharing, not
guarding
![Page 17: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Don’t assume that getting the books back is more important than
getting the people back
![Page 18: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Relationships, not transactions
![Page 19: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Don’t assume that there’s only one right or fair way to do everything
![Page 20: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Don’t assume that your library is primarily a window on the outside world
![Page 22: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Local, not generic
![Page 23: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Don’t assume that information is an end in itself
![Page 24: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Don’t assume that the way to stay safe is to be perfect
![Page 26: When the Tide Goes Out, Everyone Can See Who’s Swimming Naked](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816060550346895dcf88aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Efficiency, not
perfection
