Library Evaluations: Community Involvement, On-going Improvement, Results!
Register here
Go beyond your strategic plan and learn how to conduct a library evaluation to help you improve your library. Every library needs a road map to steer you successfully toward your destination, and that’s exactly what a thorough library evaluation does.
Learn how to recruit Library Trustees, Friends, staff, and community members to help you subjectively look at everything in your library from technology, ADA compliance, policies, building condition, library layout, and signage by using the provided checklists, handouts, and additional tools.
Gather ideas to use the resulting evaluation document for local advocacy, to leverage funding, and to improve the look and feel of the library.
Presenter: Gail Santy, Outreach Services Consultant, Central Kansas Library System, Great Bend, KS
