Here’s What Past Participants Had to Say:

91% of live session participants were highly satisfied with the curriculum topics and guest speakers

“The Library Management Training Online Course and Guest Speaker Program allowed me to grow more as a leader when I didn't think it was possible. I gained new perspectives on specific areas I thought I knew all too well while giving new knowledge I did not know I needed.” -- Travis J. Givens, Head of Access Services.
“As a new department manager, this course helped me get off the ground and begin to manage more effectively than if I tried to learn all of the topics on my own when problems came to head. I recommend this course to anyone who is new to library management either as a department head or as a library director.” Matthew Cross, Head of Technical Services.
