To: Vermont librarians and library staff (especially directors, youth services staff, and those involved in collections, programming and resource sharing in academic, public and school libraries),
As you probably know, the Library Services and Technology Act’s (LSTA) program provides federal funds to each state library agency, including the Vermont Department of Libraries (DOL). The amount of funding received by Vermont is based on a population-driven formula; in FFY2011 the DOL received $929,254. In order to qualify for these funds, each state is required to submit a plan every five years that outlines how this funding will be used within the state to fulfill specific purposes outlined in the Museum and Library Services Act. You can read the Vermont LSTA 5-Year Plan, 2008-2012 at:

“When it comes to the future, there are three types of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened” (attributed to John M. Richardson, Jr). With all the changes that are occurring in the workplace as the result of technological advances and the state of the global economy, it is easy to feel as if work is happening to us, rather than its being directed and shaped by us. This day-long workshop will give participants an opportunity to listen to their colleagues’ experience of change in their workplaces, to learn specific methods of managing change, and to develop strategies for shaping the emerging future in their organizations.
