Develop an Action Plan

Write down what needs to be accomplished in the coming months. You can use the checklist in this handbook to start your plan. However each situation is unique, and this handbook might not cover everything. Talk to other library district directors and/or board members for ideas on what needs to be accomplished.

Identify who will be responsible for accomplishing each task along with a date for when it should be finished. It's always helpful to include enough details that everyone understands what needs to be done to make this transition successful.

Please see the North Lake County Library District Action Plan for an example.

Don't try to do everything at once. Yes, we know. We said this earlier, but it's worth repeating. Don't try to do everything at once. Pace yourself and accept that this process takes time.
