For those interested in recharging their career, exploring new places, or gaining unique experience, Carlyle and Winn’s approachable and pragmatic volume Your Passport to International Librarianship will prove useful. The book covers the entire process of working internationally as a librarian, including visiting libraries while on personal vacations, as well as volunteering with international organizations, such as library nonprofits. The authors cover the benefits of international travel and volunteering, preparations necessary both personally and professionally, personal experiences, and advice for collaborating with your host library after returning home.
