Library & Information Services SIG Webinar – View From the Top: A Leadership Perspective on Libraries: April 16

What does your school administration really think about the library’s role in your school for now and in the future? Join a candid conversation with school leaders as they discuss their vision for a library and answer your most pressing questions about advocacy, budget, and impact.

This panel discussion bridges the critical gap between librarians and school administration by bringing Heads of School and other senior leadership directly to the table. In a moderated conversation, a diverse panel of school leaders will explore the evolving role of the library from a strategic, whole-school perspective. The discussion will move beyond the day-to-day operations to address the big-picture questions that define the library’s future and its role.

• What leaders look for as evidence of a successful library program.

• The librarian’s role in driving school-wide strategic initiatives.

• Leadership perspectives on budgeting, staffing, and navigating the challenges of AI.

• How to effectively advocate for the library in a language that resonates with administrators.

A significant portion of the session will be dedicated to a live Q&A, giving attendees a rare opportunity to ask school leaders their most pressing questions directly.
