Next Steps in Leadership
Resilient people, resilient places, resilient partnerships

Drawing upon the themes of ‘People, Place and Partnership’; Next Steps in Leadership offers an invaluable opportunity for leaders of public libraries across Scotland to connect, share challenges, good practice and experience with peers.
