Leadership Development is a long-running program of TCLP that continues evolving as our
understanding of, and engagement with, the communities we work in grows. The most important
objective of the Leadership Development Program is community ownership. If there is a library in a
community and the community does not have the ownership of that library, then there is little chance
of that library being successful; but when the community has ownership in that library, then the
chances of the library being successful increases greatly.
In the Leadership Development Program, we create opportunities for library members who have been
coming to the library for a long time to recognize their leadership skills and improve them, run the
library with the librarian, and express their thoughts and voices on different platforms and in the
library.
