You want to plan ahead to serve your community, but you have endless possibilities and only finite resources. How do you know what options to choose? Whether you’re planning a single program, a system-wide strategic plan, or anything in between, using community-led planning techniques can set you up for outstanding success. Discover the results of new research into how libraries can become more equitably community-led. Then learn how to apply these concepts to create highly relevant, inclusive services for—and, more importantly, with—your community.

Join Dr. Audrey Barbakoff, experienced public library leader and founder of Co/Lab Capacity, for an hour-long discussion of how best to create community-led strategies for public library success.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• What it means to be authentically community-led, and why this benefits your library and community.
• How to apply evidence-based strategies from the CoLaB model to build your capacity for community-led planning.
• Real-world examples of how libraries have used community-led planning for successful outcomes.
