Public libraries serve a community—and that means understanding what the community actually needs. This beginner course covers the full library director toolkit: community assessment, financial stewardship, infrastructure and tech planning, workforce management, marketing, and fundraising.
You'll learn to read a budget, plan for the long term, navigate hiring and diversity, and make the case for library funding through grants and crowdfunding. The course balances the operational side (buildings, budgets, technology) with the human side (staff, community partnerships, public engagement).
