Event Details
Two-Week Intensive Online Course + 8-module Workshop | June 3 & 10, 2026 8:00 am - 1:30 pm
Learn what they didn’t teach you in library school: how to be a library manager.
This is a two-week, accelerated version of our longer course intended for busy managers who need crucial information quickly.
This course will set you up for success in a future or current management role by providing foundational training in library management. Built specifically for new managers—or those on a future management track—this interactive, project-based course addresses the real-world challenges library leaders face but are rarely trained for.
You’ll build core competencies across topics essential to effective library management, including:
- Building team culture and people management
- Equity-centered leadership
- Managing difficult conversations
- Providing feedback
- Conflict resolution
- Crisis and incident management
- Supporting yourself and staff through burnout
- Data-informed decision making
- And more
You’ll also build a community of peers in similar roles across the country, with opportunities to ask questions, crowdsource resources, and work through real situations you’ve encountered on the job.
Each live-session week includes expert-led training, facilitated discussion and Q&A, and an optional interactive working session to practice new skills with peers. Between sessions, you’ll engage in asynchronous cohort activities that culminate in a practical portfolio of management resources.
You’ll leave this course with a new professional cohort and a Library Journal Management Training Certificate.
