On March 15-16, 54 Michigan library staff and partners began a 10-month undertaking. They attended a 1.5-day workshop taught by coaches from the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation. During the workshop the cohort was organized into two smaller groups, which for the remainder of 2016 will participate in additional training, and develop action plans to move their communities forward.
Look for an announcement soon about a second cohort. Applications will be gathered beginning this spring with a fall start date.
