Center for Library Programs

As the Center for Library Programs, we aim to create capacities for our libraries, rather than deliver products. We are coordinators, facilitators, moderators, and hosts. Our focus is on connecting, convening, leading, planning, communicating, and celebrating as we work to build and maintain a 鈥渃enter鈥� that can hold the highest ideals of collective action and interdependence that live within our library community.
