CANCELED due to concerns with the COVID Pandemic Crisis.
The Public Library Directors’ Institute is an opportunity hosted by the Montana State Library to develop peer relationships that promote kinship and collaboration. The 2020 institute has the specific objective of identifying a few projects or programs around regionalized or statewide collaboration. It may be that the next big thing in public library services for Montana will be charted at this institute.
Andrew Sanderbeck (People Connect Institute https://peopleconnectinstitute.com/) will facilitate.
The desired outcomes of this institute are that library directors will:
- Advance collaboration regionally & statewide as evidenced by engagement in statewide or regional projects
- Develop peer relationships that promote kinship & collaboration between libraries
- Be able to clearly articulate why MT libraries value collaboration
- Better understand when autonomy is less important than expanded services
- Identify a few projects or programs around regionalized or statewide collaboration; MSL-sponsored or not
- Convert scarcity mindset into an abundance mindset
- Be able to convince local stakeholders to influence decisions that promote resource sharing and collaboration
