Concurrent Program

Learner Leadership Thrives and Sustains Our Library Communities

Friday, June 2, 2023
4:00 PM – 4:45 PM PT
Location: A2
In this session you will hear experienced adult learners share examples of their leadership roles in California Library Literacy Services programs, in their library and in their community. You will learn that a learner leader does not have to be a formal role. Leadership includes learners assisting each other in the computer lab and in small groups, sharing snacks, donating books to their colleagues, helping with clean-up after an event, and so much more. You will leave this session with a clearer vision of what constitutes learner leadership and ideas on how to facilitate that development in your program.

Adult learners will share with you the evolution of how many learners have increasingly taken on leadership activities. They will share what support is available to support your learners in these endeavors, such as via the monthly statewide Monthly Learner Meetings available on Zoom.
