SAAM

The LACONI SAAM section is dedicated to creating learning opportunities for those who are already in leadership roles as well as those considering leadership. Our goal is to create growth opportunities for library leaders in all library department types.

Our programs will be presented quarterly and strive to represent the current interests of library leaders as well as perennial topics. Meetings will be held in both hybrid and in person formats as often as possible.
