Many of their best ideas come from tapping into their own team's special talents and hobbies. We asked Elizabeth and her team to tell us how they do it—and how sharing their personal skills with their community has made this team feel even more excited and connected to their work at the library. We hope it sparks creative ideas for you and your team!

It's a big task to define the library’s future over the next three or five years, and strategic planning is becoming less and less effective in a rapidly changing world. The Salt Lake City Public Library (SLCPL) has created a new approach that is flexible, staff-driven, and human-centered. SCLPL's Strategic Roadmap is not a 100-page plan in a binder-on-a-shelf; it’s an experiential learning tool that invites all staff to participate in the co-creation of meaningful outcomes and experiences for the community. The Roadmap focuses less on planning and more on building capacity of staff to adopt a human-centered service design mindset and skillset. SLCPL staff are adopting a new perspective, continually experimenting with and adapting spaces, collections, services, programs, and their own roles, to responsively address community needs and aspirations in an ever-changing landscape. Join us to learn how to cultivate new skills to help bring the Roadmap to life for your library’s strategic planning.

The Power of Small: How Rural Libraries Help Their Communities Thrive
Thursday, April 18, 2019 ♦ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ♦ 60 minutes
Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/power-of-small.html<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webjunction.org%2Fevents%2Fwebjunction%2Fpower-of-small.html&data=02%7C01%7Catkine%40michigan.gov%7Cc7c847dfcfaa4310c0c008d6a7de3bad%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C636880970277957142&sdata=udYSzouGR%2B852ZR6CncPOYsvXZGvL%2Fw44V5Mdj2yoN0%3D&reserved=0>

All libraries provide vital services to their communities, but libraries that serve small, rural populations have the potential to go beyond providing information and access—they can inject the vitality that will help their communities thrive. Addressing the challenges faced by rural areas may seem daunting to a library with few staff and limited resources, but any tiny library can find more ways to support the needs of their community by thinking strategically and creating new connections with their stakeholders, patrons, and other library staff. Learn how small library director and 2018 Library Journal Mover & Shaker, Allie Stevens, applied the concept of growth mindsets to set her priorities, use resources and volunteers smartly, and avoid burnout as a solo librarian. Follow her lead to turn your library into a powerhouse for your community.
