*Navigating the Challenges of Digital Literacy and Professional Standards
in Library Innovation*
As society becomes increasingly digitized, libraries are transforming from
physical book repositories to dynamic hubs of information and lifelong
learning. However, public libraries often face resistance when adopting new
technologies due to varying levels of digital literacy among patrons and
staff. Addressing these concerns with empathetic leadership and effective
change management is essential for fostering innovation and ensuring
everyone feels supported.

This discussion aims to direct library and technology leaders to employ
empathetic leadership and effective change management strategies. By
understanding individuals' underlying fears and concerns, leaders can
better guide patrons, staff, and stakeholders through innovation.

*This program will place a particular emphasis on strategies to ensure the
continued accessibility of digital literacy for the future.*
