Webinars

Public libraries in college towns operate at the intersection of campus and community—serving year-round residents, students, faculty, and visitors, often within rapidly changing economic and housing landscapes. In this panel discussion, public library directors from prominent college communities will reflect on what makes their work different from cities and towns without a major university as a key economic driver.

Public libraries collect a wealth of data, but numbers alone rarely inspire understanding or action. This webinar will explore how data visualization and data storytelling can help library staff turn complex information into clear, compelling insights. Whether you’re reporting on outcomes, tracking progress toward goals, or advocating for resources, this session will help you use data more effectively to demonstrate your library’s impact.
