Abstract: The labor market in Poland is undergoing constant transformation due to demographic changes, mainly resulting from the aging of the population. Attitude towards work is shaped, among other things, by generational affiliation, and the need to continuing education or even retraining applies to employees of every generation. Developing attitudes, personal qualities, value system and motivation, increases employee’s value on the labor market and influences professional activity. For organization such as a scientific library, age management involves resolving conflicts related to having employees of different age groups. The task is difficult, because even within a single generation there is a huge diversity of views, behavior, and attitudes. Breaking down intergenerational barriers, however, becomes an opportunity for any organization. The purpose of this article is to highlight the issue of the small age diversity of college library employees. Based on the analysis of selected literature, an attempt was also made to systematize the knowledge of management of generational diversity.
