Evidence-based advocacy is sharing evidence with stakeholders to tell the story of the library’s impact. Join us to discover how evidence-based advocacy can help you tell a more compelling story about your public library and its impact on your community and on inidividuals. Learn to evaluate how current metrics and measures can tell your library’s story in a way that is most meaningful to your stakeholders. Discover what needs to change about these metrics in order to reflect the library of the 21st Century, address stakeholders’ priorities and fully demonstrate the library’s community impact. You can be more than just stewards of the data by learning to articulate a compelling vision story.
