Tips (con’t)
Don’t be intimidated by their expertise. Yes, they are experts in their field, but you are the expert on your community and your library patrons.

Tips (con’t)
Do not be afraid to speak up. If you have an idea, tell them about it. It is their job to figure out if it can work in the master plan.
