Library management encompasses normal managerial tasks, as well as intellectual freedom and fundraising responsibilities.

To supplement their operating budget, managers often secure funding through donor gifts and fundraising.

Many facilities have begun including cafes, Friends of the Library spaces, and even exhibits[5] to help generate additional revenue.

LLAMA membership includes a free subscription to the online quarterly magazine Library Leadership & Management, as well as discounts on other publications and related conferences.

In 2020 LLAMA merged with two other divisions of the ALA to form Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures.
