Collage of six Core members, each smiling at the cameraCore: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures is the national association that advances the profession of librarians and information providers in central roles of buildings & operations, leadership & management, metadata & collections, and technology.

Core members play a central role in every library, shaping the future of the profession by striking a balance between maintenance and innovation, process and progress, collaborating and leading. Our members serve in every level of responsibility for the implementation and maintenance of core services, from the practitioners who keep things running day-to-day to the innovators

going in new directions to those making funding decisions, as well as the library school students who will shape the future.

What do these folks have in common? They are all working to build and maintain the best spaces and services for their communities and staffs.
