<span style="color: black;">We are excited to share the final version of <i>Strengthening Strong Library Leaders</i> (SILL), a leadership training program for public and community libraries around the world. This training was developed at the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and in partnership with library trainers in Namibia, Myanmar, Armenia, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Haiti, Tunisia, Bangladesh, and Cameroon (AfLIA). This leadership curriculum is unique because it was co-developed, and it is meant to be delivered to everyone in the library, from volunteers to senior staff. Equally important is that it is adaptable and is designed to be used by trainers with different levels of experience.</span></div>
