Coming September 2026
A FREE FIVE-PART MASTERCLASS sharing the conversations, lessons, and ideas that continue to shape library work.

Library work is constantly evolving. Every day brings new questions, new challenges, and new opportunities to make a difference. Some of the most valuable lessons come from doing the work itself, and too often, they never make it past the person who learned them.
Voices Shaping the Profession brings together Dr. R. David Lankes, The Bowden Professor of Librarianship at The University of Texas at Austin, and an extraordinary lineup of Library Journal Movers & Shakers to share the experiences, ideas, and hard-earned insights that continue to shape libraries today.
This free masterclass is our thank you to the profession as Library Journal celebrates 150 years, and our way of helping those lessons reach the people who will build what's next.
