March 2017 PLA Leadership Academy Webinar
Due to a technical issue, this webinar recording is presented in two parts.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Originally presented July 13, 2017, by George Needham. George is the Director of the Delaware County District Library in suburban Columbus, Ohio. While earning BA and MLS degrees from the University at Buffalo, New York, George worked at the public library in his neighborhood. He began his professional career at the Charleston (S.C.) County Library, and has served as director of Fairfield County (Ohio) District Library, as an executive with Ohio Library Association and Public Library Association, as State Librarian of Michigan, and as a vice-president at OCLC. A well-traveled public speaker, George has also written several articles, recorded scores of podcasts, and reviewed hundreds of books, audiobooks, and videos for Library Journal, Booklist, The Columbus Dispatch, and AudioFile. His sole brush with non-library fame came as a two-time Jeopardy! champion in December, 1994.
