Amanda Johnson

Amanda Johnson started her journey in libraries over 10 years ago and has since worked in academic, public, and state government environments. Starting out she spent many years on public service desks, leading programs and helping community members find and use information. These daily interactions led Amanda to pursue her interest in building skills and strategies to help libraries uncover community needs, develop effective services, and demonstrate value to all levels of stakeholders. Amanda is the co-founder of Alliance Research & Training which provides support to libraries to grow their services, resources, and boost staff capacity to meet the changing needs of their communities.
