Event:

- Andrew Sanderbeck and Ned Parks
Did you ever wonder why an American Football is a prolate spheroid instead of a circle? We haven't either. Instead, we focus on collaborating with you to make your library even more valuable to your communities! Join Andrew Sanderbeck and Ned Parks as they facilitate a lively discussion to identify library stakeholders and delve deeper to explore how different persons and groups in your communities have a stake in your library and what you value. The session will also challenge you to uncover possibilities and opportunities for library services in Montana, laying the groundwork leading up to the institute in May 2022.
Register for this interactive session ONLY if you are a public library, tribal library, or community-school library director and you plan to attend the institute in Great Falls May 16-19, 2022.
Andrew Sanderbeck has decades of experience training librarians on the stickiest of issues like handling angry patrons, communication skills, management and leadership. He is the founder of the PCI webinar series and has also served as a public library trustee. Ned Parks is a former Army helicopter pilot, an entrepreneur, author, and community leader who has been a motivational speaker on a range of challenging topics. Together Ned and Andrew are turning their attention to the use of purposeful training experiences to help library leaders achieve their greatest potential and for their libraries and communities to thrive.
