The Beginnings, Current Status and Next Steps of PLSR (Public Library System Redesign)
Register here

The Public Library System Redesign (PLSR) Steering Committee and workgroups have been working on new coordinated service model concepts over the last year and during this next year, with continued input from our library community, will be more fully developing their model ideas. The goal of the process is to identify models to maximize the investments made into coordinated services and to improve services to public libraries and the citizens of Wisconsin.  In addition to providing background about PLSR, participants from the Steering Committee, workgroup leadership and the Department of Public Instruction will provide an update on the progress of the project to date.  This will include the status of activities and model development of the workgroups, the Steering Committee’s process and timeline, and how you can be involved!  To learn more about PLSR, please visit: www.plsr.info.

Panelists:

• John DeBacher, Director, Public Library Development, Division for Libraries and Technology; DPI Liaison to the PLSR Steering Committee
• Tasha Saecker, Assistant Director, Appleton Public Library; PLSR ILL/ILS Workgroup Facilitator
• John Thompson, Director, Indianhead Federated Library System; PLSR Steering Committee Chair

The webinar will be recorded, and will be available for viewing soon afterward.
