Based on the foundation of Peter Senge’s work, LFAP enhances attitudes and skills to create a
LEARNING ORGANIZATION.
LFAP goes beyond Senge’s concepts to nurture initiative, creativity and responsibility
in every position in the library.

A learning community is created when each person takes
personal responsibility for the success of their
organization and its customers.
They fully engage their talents and support others
in transforming individual experience into knowledge
that is used by the whole organization
to achieve its core purpose and vision.
