Diversity and Inclusion: Creating an effective learning and working environment for people from other cultures and people at risk with a focus on customers’ colleagues.

Cross Border Collaboration or Exchange: Facilitating global partnerships to support projects and or ongoing work

Cross Sector Collaboration: Facilitating strong relationships with different types of libraries

Engaging staff : Creating rich learning and development opportunities for the wide spectrum of staff employed in 21st century libraries – both professional and non-professional.

New Roles: Preparing the next generation of staff and managers for new skills and competencies

One spot is available for an emerging author who requires mentorship.
