can lead to assumptions and mental models about the purpose, the people, and the materials of your library. When we have a mental model of something, we can get stuck in a way of thinking, making decisions that continue to reinforce the model—prioritizing
tasks and budgeting to drive actions that support them. This interactive webinar will show you how to bust some of your mental models and start the shift to innovative, out-of-the-box thinking that managing a modern library requires. Chat opportunities with
the instructor will make the learning relevant and engaging, so come ready to participate and discover how to unlock a world of possibilities for your library.”</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
