Abstract

This article outlines simple strategies and techniques for applying creativity to your own daily work in a library setting, by developing a growth mindset. It discusses the psychology of being creative, and how everyone can realise their true potential to achieve it and explains that inspiration occurs at any moment, anywhere, providing insightful novel approaches for solving complex problems. Creativity compels us to step out of our comfort zone by taking a risk, to explore something new. Realising the true value of the experience itself, is the actual learning involved and not being afraid to repeatedly make mistakes and try again.
