We know that libraries are a good investment but with tight budgets, we need to energize our base - to take action to connect more strongly with community members, to find out what excites them, and to let them know how libraries are changing lives - one connection at a time. Our panel will explore three vehicles that can help you increase awareness of library services:

Library Videos - New videos from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that showcase work done in libraries which are transforming lives, by changing the way we connect. Geek the Library - A community awareness campaign offered free to libraries to help strengthen community connections and library support. Data Visualization - We collect lots of data. Learn how the Colorado State Library is helping local libraries use their data to tell a story about impact.
