As communities contend with lockdown isolation, economic insecurity, and rampant misinformation, libraries are more vital than ever before. Even so, we haven’t evolved how we quantify and qualify community and personal impacts though the entire world has changed. Join Christian Lauersen, Director of Libraries and Citizen Services in Roskilde Municipality (Denmark) and Tara Wong, CEO of Oakville Public Library (Canada) as we reimagine how we measure and communicate library impact going forward.
