By focusing on the needs of our patrons and staff as a top priority and placing a high value on respect we can empower growth within our own communities regardless of our role within the library. All topics are welcome to be proposed. Examples could be, but not limited to: early literacy, diversity, coding/STEM, grants/fundraising, music, personal development, collaboration, self-care, programming, collections and management.
