LVA | Succession Planning: Preparing the Future of Your Library-July 2026

Across Virginia, libraries are facing a growing transition as experienced leaders retire or pursue new opportunities. The question is not if change will happen, but how prepared your organization will be when it does.

This workshop is designed to help library leaders proactively prepare for the future by building a practical, sustainable approach to succession planning. Participants will learn how to identify critical roles, develop internal talent, and preserve the institutional knowledge that keeps their libraries strong.

Succession planning is more than filling positions; it's about ensuring continuity of service to the communities you serve. When done well, it strengthens your organization, creates growth opportunities for your team, and positions your library for long-term success.

Join us to begin building the next generation of leadership, so your mission continues, no matter who steps into the role next.
