The California State Library, in partnership with Infopeople, is pleased to offer an exciting professional development initiative - the Eureka! Leadership Program: Discover the Leader Within. The Program has been designed for professional librarians with between three and ten years of professional library experience, but is also open to those in library management positions who do not have an MLS. The Program is looking for California library staff who exhibit leadership potential and are willing to share with others their enthusiasm, optimism, and vision for future library services.

Each year, 32 people from libraries throughout California are selected, through a competitive application process, to take part in the Eureka! Leadership Institute, an intensive week-long training event. Check out this FAQ for more information on the Eureka! Leadership Institute.

After the Institute, fellows participate in several follow-up activities. Among these activities are webinars presented by Eureka fellows on various topics of interest to the library community. You can find a list of Eureka webinars here. They are open & free to all.
