Nowadays libraries as dynamic organizations should have the capacities to operate in a volatile, uncertain and complex environment. According to this, it is essential for library educators to be prepared to navigate changes effectively and meet the fast-shifting needs of today’s users (Clarke et al., 2020; Abels et al., 2018). The Design thinking approach can be seen as an effective tool to enable library educators to operate in a fast-changing and unpredictable environment. This approach can provide library educators with the necessary competencies which can empower them to navigate emerging changes effectively, innovate in their educational practice, and ultimately better serve the evolving needs of their users (Clarke & Kim, 2018; etc.). The purpose of this research is to assess the impact of Design thinking approach on the ability of library educators to navigate changes. Research methods used: scientific literature analysis, electronic survey, comparative analysis. To achieve the purpose, library educators were surveyed before and after the Design thinking training on the same topics: professional development, personal attitude towards oneself, towards changes, towards the customers of library services, etc. Main research findings confirmed the positive impact of Design thinking approach on library educators’ capacities to operate in a fast-changing environment.
