Applications for the WLA Leadership Institute (LDI) are NOW OPEN!

Leadership in libraries isn't just the responsibility of directors. Everyone can benefit from enhancing their leadership skills, no matter what position they hold. Youth librarians are natural leaders who can take their place at any table. LDI can help you hone those skills!


Taking time for learning and development is critical for anyone who wants to improve their leadership skills and become a top performer. LDI is about your professional development. While the program is rigorous and does require a time commitment, your future is worth the investment.

Your participation in LDI also benefits your library:
  • You will learn best practices and tips from cohort members and instructors to bring back to your workplace.
  • Equipped with ideas and strategies from experts, you will become a more effective advocate for libraries.
  • You will strengthen your library’s network as you connect with and learn from members of your cohort.
  • Having a representative from your library participate in LDI demonstrates to the Wisconsin library community that your workplace values professional development and innovation - a valuable recruiting tool!
Don't miss the chance to be part of the 2025 LDI cohort!

APPLY NOW -Applications due August 22

This program was developed in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension. Questions? Contact Cindy Foley, WLA Interim Executive Director, at event@wisconsinlibraries.org.
