In 2009, the Illinois State Library received a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to create ILEAD (Innovative Librarians Explore, Apply and Discover) USA, a new kind of leadership initiative that allows teams of library employees from all types of libraries to enhance their communities with technology. The South Carolina State Library will be joining the initiative in 2015, and is looking for dynamic representatives from South Carolina libraries to participate.
ILEAD USA sessions for South Carolina will begin February 2015, and run through October 2015. The program will also require attendance at four-day in-person sessions in March, June and October for a total of 12 days of on-site training in Columbia.
Interested in learning more? Keep an eye out for an informational session at the upcoming South Carolina Library Association conference in October or contact Kristi Sligh, Continuing Education Consultant, South Carolina State Library, at 803-734-8663 or ksligh@statelibrary.sc.gov.
