We tend to take a pretty narrow view of innovation – ribbon cuttings on shiny things that require lots of extra money. This self-limiting view stands in the way of our libraries thriving. A more expansive and empowering perspective is that innovation is a mental model, accessible to every organization, helping us overcome many perceived constraints. Innovation is the springboard to becoming the transformational places our communities deserve, our teams are excited to commit their time and talent to, and our values call on us to be.
