Libraries occupy a vibrant and essential role in our communities. Technology and changing public expectations have created new possibilities for enhanced library services to meet patrons’ evolving needs.

To that end, we have worked with libraries across America to help each of their teams develop clear visions for the future that resonate with staff, boards, community members and organizations, government officials, and funders.

Our projects to strengthen libraries include:

• Strategic Planning, including Facilities Planning
• Community Needs Assessments, including surveys, focus groups, design charrettes, stakeholder interviews
• State Library Standards Development
• Program Evaluations
• Feasibility Studies
• Job Classification/Salary Studies
• Financial Contribution models for consortia
• Accreditation Support, including focused collections support
