Do you feel like you’re wasting time and money putting together programming that would positively impact your community, but no one attends? Do you hate the phrase “that’s how it’s always been done”, but don’t know how to get the ball rolling toward doing things differently? We’ve been there too, and want to prepare you for the difficult conversations that come with a program overhaul, and show you how you can get past those program fails and reframe them as success. Get the tools to objectively analyze your existing programming, discuss program effectiveness with colleagues and stakeholders, and consider whether or not program resources can be better utilized — or canceled altogether.
At the end of the session, participants will:
- Receive tools and information to assist in critically evaluating current program offerings and collections in their libraries, and be able to use these tools to assess a program’s value in the short-term, as well as to forecast its long-term success.
- Be able to objectively analyze their programs to ensure that they are worth the library’s financial and staffing investment.
- Be empowered to have difficult conversations about their programs’ effectiveness with their supervisors, colleagues, and other stakeholders.
This webinar will be recorded and a recording will be shared with all registrants afterward.
