My Top Selling Self-Guided Courses
Hey There, I'm Holly!
I’ve been working in and with libraries for more than 15 years! In working as everything from clerk, to programmer, to director I have experience with a variety of positions in the library world and I have loved almost every minute of it. I have a Master of Library Science degree with advanced certificates in Youth Services, and Advanced Management in Libraries and Information Agencies.
I learned early in my career that there was nothing more rewarding than connecting with people and seeing their empowerment when they learn something new. I made it my goal to create as many of those opportunities as possible with my staff and my community.
As I’ve worked with my own library and others to modernize their systems, people, process & goals, their communities have grown stronger. Employees want to stick around and be engaged with their work. I’ve seen this new direction impact lives, and I wanted to create a variety of courses and trainings to help make those changes to libraries & communities throughout the world.
Thank you for checking out LibrariAND! I can't wait to see what we can do together!

TESTIMONIALS
Proven Outcomes
"Holly Jackson is a highly competent and innovative thinker in the library world, and one of her many strengths is thinking outside the box to come up with ingenious solutions to common problems. Holly has an innate ability to problem-solve and lead calmly and patiently while maintaining an intense energy that is ideal for collaboration. In my years of working with Holly, I’ve seen her revolutionize the management and marketing of non-traditional collections, like her famous “Make It and Take It” kits program she created at the Portneuf Library while remaining impressed with her inclusive nature and inclination to create amazing culture of shared leadership within her teams. As an innovator in libraries myself with over 22 years of experience, there are few librarians I’ve encountered who are as competent and trustworthy working in the space of innovation and new ideas while remaining vigilant to traditional library values. I highly recommend Holly!"

"Thank you for your presentation Holly! I have heard nothing but great feedback from the cohort. It was well presented and the directors appreciated hearing from you!"
CLAY R.
I wish we could hire the presenter as a Consultant. I really appreciate the acknowledgement of the unique challenges of managing a small rural library. Excellent webinar, excellent handout. I have sent the recording and document to all our supervisors. Very relevant topic for our library system.

"I took the Retiring Dewey Course and genuinely it was set up in such a way that it is attainable for all levels of Librarianship whether you have been doing this for 20 years or you are coming in to libraries with a different background, this course makes sense of what could be a long convoluted process."
MAEGAN H. LIBRARY DIRECTOR, MLS
