The Best Practices for Succession Planning Tool for Shared Print Programs

Change is a constant, and as libraries in a shared print program experience leadership or staff changes, closure, or other events that affect their membership and participation in these programs, both individual libraries and shared print program staff should follow best practices to ensure these changes are not too disruptive to either library or program operations. These Best Practices may differ in focus depending on the transition (e.g., change in leadership or library closure) and size of library. This assessment tool will provide an opportunity to review and reflect on your program’s succession planning policy and practices. We ask that after answering each of the criteria questions that you submit your answers.

Thank you for using this assessment tool, and please let us know if you have any questions by contacting us at info@sharedprint.org.
