With public library budgets under more pressure than ever, it is crucial for library leaders to be strategic about how they spend and how they demonstrate value. But with limited time, staff, and skillsets, how do you determine which metrics truly matter?

Join us for a practical webinar where we’ll identify the data that can make the biggest difference in strategic budgeting. Learn how to prioritize metrics, make critical decisions with confidence, and transform your data into compelling stories that advocate for your library’s budget, resources, and impact.

You will learn how to:

• Cut through the noise and focus on the data that matters
• Use data to make confident decisions - even the tough ones
• Communicate value, raise awareness, and advocate for resources to stakeholders

Who should attend: Public library directors, managers, and staff interested in leveraging data for strategic budgeting, decision making, and storytelling.

Presenter:

Sara Roberts, MLIS, Director, Account & Product Management, LibraryIQ
