Abstract
After completing an expensive renovation and coming out of a pandemic lockdown, both of which necessitated hiring freezes, our library has begun recruiting and hiring its first new librarians and archivists in many years. We have also hired our first ACRL Diversity Fellows. It has been nearly a decade since we have had a formal mentoring program in this library. The institution to which we belong has also started looking at establishing mentoring programs for faculty. Several studies indicate that training mentors can lead to greater success for mentoring efforts, and we coordinated our first mentor training program this year. This poster will cover the model we set up as well as other options to consider when creating training for mentors in your library.
