One of the great things PNLA does as an organization is help create
opportunities to build leadership skills for librarians in the Pacific
Northwest.

Leadership Institute (PNLA LEADS) is now accepting applications. This is a
5 day intensive retreat that helps librarians discover and to build their
leadership skills. The institute will be held Sunday October 22nd
