[Libs-Or] Sign up for Project Outcome training near you!

[Jerianne Thompson]

Would you like a better way to tell the story of your library's impact on your community? Project Outcome provides free, easy-to-use resources to help libraries with outcome measurement. OLA's Public Library Division will offer FREE workshops about using Project Outcome in various regions of the state. Sign up for the training closest to you!

Who should attend? Library leaders, librarians, programmers

Why should you attend? Measuring outcomes provides insights you can use to demonstrate the value of library programs and services, make plans to improve those services, and decide how to allocate limited resources. Outcomes data can also inform long-range planning and play a critical role in strengthening library advocacy. And, don't forget: Outcomes measurement is a required component of the LSTA and Ready to Read grant!

Project Outcome's tools were designed to be easy enough for libraries of all sizes to utilize and benefit. The surveys cover seven essential library service areas: 1. Civic & Community Engagement, 2. Digital Learning, 3. Early Childhood Literacy, 4. Economic Development, 5. Education and Lifelong Learning, 6. Job Skills, and 7. Summer Reading.
