So I feel really grateful to be included.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The leadership development program connects early career library workers from across the country in problem-solving work groups and peer networks. Participants are granted a look into ALA structure as well as greater opportunities to quickly become leaders in the profession through ALA committee volunteerism and participation in other professional LIS organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LIS field would be lucky to have an SJSU superstar rise to a leadership position where she can make the most change for her library\u2019s patrons and community. A trained mediator, capacity builder, and consensus-based facilitator, Cybele sees herself in a library setting that \u201crelies heavily on patron outreach as part of its core work, possibly in a public or academic setting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For her, it\u2019s all about inviting patrons in, creating the spaces they need, and designing programs with patrons as partners. \u201cReally that aspect of librarianship\u2013 outreach\u2013 is needed in most library settings,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until she can actively make decisions alongside her future communities, Cybele looks forward to engaging in the Emerging Leaders program and connecting with a diverse team of professionals at her first LibLearnX and ALA Annual Conference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good luck, Cybele!
