As libraries remain at the heart of their communities, they face growing challenges involving materials, policies, governance, and public trust.

Small-group discussions will help attendees evaluate policies, procedures, and communication strategies, identify potential gaps, and explore practical tools that can be adapted for staff training, board development, and advocacy preparedness.
