If you are interested in a library leadership role then it's important to be realistic about the fact that library school couldn't teach you what you need to know in order to be a successful leader, and you're going to need to get some experience and training that exposes you to big picturing thinking and planning. This week we sat down with the most recent graduates of the Public Library Leaders program, a partnership between CULC and the University of Toronto's iSchool. They told us about their experiences with leadership training and their top takeaways from the program. 

Thank you to Lisa Radha Weaver from Hamilton Public Library; Amanda Fullerton from Halifax Public Library; Jorge Cardenas from Burnaby Public Library and Marcus Logan from Oakville Public Library.
