Engaged Planning: Ask What You Can Do For Your Rural Community
A webinar presented in collaboration with ARSL outlining the steps of an engaged planning process, to align library capabilities with community needs and aspirations.
Your community needs the library, and planning for the future of your library begins with understanding the community and their aspirations. Once you understand what your rural community wants and needs, you can assess how the library can help them. In this webinar, understand the important steps of this engaged planning process, including internal assessment, data collection and analysis, trustee involvement, and community conversations. Learn what it means for your library to “turn outward” to secure its place at the heart of your community.
This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.
Presented by: Cindy Fesemyer, Director, Columbus (WI) Public Library, population 5,000
