This Year's Theme: Supporting a Resilient Workforce

If you work in a different type of library and/or are in a leadership position with a different title and would like to request an invitation, please email us at ljevents@mediasourceinc.com, with “Directors’ Summit” in the subject line, and describe your library setting and role. LJ will consider and respond to your request.
About the Event
The past few years have brought unprecedented challenges to libraries and librarians, and the end seems nowhere in sight. From COVID to book bans and politically fueled personal attacks on librarians, creating and fostering a resilient workplace in the library is a daunting objective.
This high-level, two-day Summit will seek to address successful and actionable approaches to addressing many of the largest challenges facing libraries today and in the foreseeable future.
Gena Cox will kick off day one with a fireside chat on how to build inclusion into everyday leadership so employees can see and feel the change.
Advocates at the national, state, and local level will share how to tackle the book ban epidemic and get your board on your side.
Facilitated conversations will activate the expertise of the full community of library leaders
‘Learn Local’ breakout sessions provide focused, actionable takeaways on how to replicate and adapt innovative programs and services piloted in the surrounding region.
Peer leaders will discuss how recent events are impacting staff perspective and satisfaction and will describe ways to make workplaces more flexible and supportive in order to recruit, retain, and grow your people power - a library’s greatest asset.
Hear how libraries large and small are taking the lead on digital equity to better serve their most underserved community members,
And much more….
