Leadership Development Division

Leadership Development Division LDD provides development tools, learning opportunities, discussion groups, peer coaching and mentorship opportunities to all library leaders of Maryland.

Managing a library is a challenge in the best of times so it's nice to have backup. Maryland's libraries deserve the finest possible leaders, and LDD is here to help. Our bimonthly meetings provide opportunities to network with library leaders from around the state, while our programs offer managers the chance to enhance their skills.
