Library employees own a vast amount of collected knowledge regarding policies, procedures, library history and personalities. Tapping into and preserving this knowledge base is essential to the future functionality of an individual library. Libraries are dynamic institutions and must continue to be vital, adaptable and responsive. How do we move forward without leaving behind the important aspects of a library’s history? This panel will discuss the necessity and realities of creating and implementing a library succession plan that can help guide library managers and staff through inevitable changes and transitions.
