LLN Mission and Services The Library Leadership Network exists to help libraries succeed in the 21st century. Today's libraries are challenged to deliver results that demonstrate how they make a difference in the communities they serve. And this mandate comes at a time of increasing technological and economical challenge. The future success and sustainability of every library will be directly related to its ability to plan for and achieve success in the following ways, depicted as the "Four V's:"

them with the timely information, ideas and tools they need to better

following
areas: Planning, Operations, Marketing, Human Resources,
Development, and
Community Relations.

The library's
resources (collection, services) are of great value to the community it
serves-both active and potential users. The library is increasingly
viewed as a place that delivers these resources when and where they are
needed.
