Being the director or dean of a library or cooperative, regardless of size or type, is a unique job with unique needs that often only another person in that position can fully comprehend or appreciate. Designed to meet the unique professional development needs of Michigan library directors, Think Space will showcase innovations in key areas of library management, leadership, and technology via compelling and cutting-edge sessions presented by well-respected experts, all while giving attendees the opportunity to build deep, lasting relationships with a cohort of library leaders throughout Michigan.
The fifth iteration of Think Space builds on the work of the 2024-2025 Think Space cohort and its focus on the link between the director’s well-being and their impact. In December, we will discuss how to foster well-being within the library staff. The emphasis is on setting healthy work conditions, facilitating open communications, and employing coaching as a critical dimension of one’s leadership.
Each cohort group will spend four days dissecting and understanding one primary issue of critical importance to today’s libraries.
