As Tennessee libraries work to re-evaluate our community role, the time comes to speculate on the next level as it relates to maintaining their mission while finding and meeting real needs. In this presentation, three library directors from the Buffalo River Region discuss how they define their roles and how they anticipate their evolution in their respective communities. Let's discuss defining the next level in leadership and service and the direction public libraries may take in the future! Bring your thoughts, struggles, successes and questions to share and discuss with your colleagues! This program is intended pen-format for discussion and idea-sharing.
