In October 2014 the Aspen Institute released its report,
<http://www.aspeninstitute.org/publications/rising-challenge-re-envisioning-
public-libraries> Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries.
With support from the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation, the multi-year project
brought together thought leaders and experts from different sectors,
including libraries, to consider the challenges, opportunities and trends
that will influence the future of public libraries in the United States.
Since then the Aspen Institute has embarked upon an ambitious program to
ensure that the report will be used to promote transformation and
sustainability of public libraries in communities across the country and at
state and national levels. 

 

If you've heard about the Aspen report and would you like to know how you
could utilize it in your library or community, this webinar is for you.
Join Susan Hildreth, Aspen Fellow, to learn about the highlights of the
reports and resources available to support your use of the report with a
variety of stakeholders.  

 

By the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

 

.        Be familiar with the three key elements of the report - People,
Place and Platform

.        Learn strategies for success and action steps for library staff,
policy makers and community members

.        Be familiar with the Action Guide
<http://csreports.aspeninstitute.org/Dialogue-on-Public-Libraries/2014/libra
ry/details/96/Libraries-Action-Guide> , an online resource to provide tools
to use the report as framework for many activities (final version of Action
Guide being introduced at ALA  Mid -Winter)

.        Be able to identify contacts for further information and
utilization of the report

 

This webinar will be of interest to:

Public Library Administrators and staff, Library Supporters and Volunteers
