Time: 9:30 AM EST - 4:00 PM EST
The MLA Public Library Managers’ Academy will provide 30 middle managers and up-and-coming leaders with the nuts and bolts of library management. One goal of the Academy is to build a cohort of Maryland Library Managers working together to improve their management and leadership skills to be successful in today’s library environment.
The academy will be a mix of in-person and online training beginning with a one day in-person workshop on October 17th. The cohort will continue to meet for online events weekly through November. The cohort will be expected to participate in online discussions with instructors. The instructors for the Academy include a combination of regional library directors, specialists, and workshop facilitators.
