2026 Library of Michigan Public Library Management Cohort - Applications Due July 31
by Vernola, Andrea (MDE) 15 Jul '25

15 Jul '25

The Library of Michigan is (re)launching a public library management cohort for library staff with new middle management/supervisory duties. This effort was originally planned for 2025 and has been rescheduled for April - October 2026. Applicants who applied for the cancelled 2025 cohort do not need to complete a new application and received an email last week to confirm their application for the 2026 cohort. LM is working with Andrew Sanderbeck/PCI Webinars to provide an in-depth Public Library Management cohort of up to 60 public library staff members, 30 in a Middle Management track and 30 in New Supervisors track. The cohort groups will meet at least monthly from April through October. The project includes coursework, online meetings, and 2 in-person workshop days in Lansing. The application to participate will close on July 31. The Middle Management track includes competencies to help attendees better manage themselves and others, including their bosses. Topic areas will include personal organizational skills including decision making and time management skills: one to one and team communication skills including difficult conversations and managing situations of conflict; process breakdowns and problem solving and influencing others without the authority to manage them. The New Supervisors track consists of topics on effectively communicating with others including giving constructive feedback and managing situations of conflict. We will practice situations of coaching and managing our employees, get more comfortable with delegating to others and building relationships with others including our boss. Attendees will also sharpen personal organizational skills including decision making and time management. You can find the application, participant expectations, the schedule with dates and times, and the agreement form at https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/ce Please contact me with any questions.
