[PL-Directors] From PLA: Register for PLDS Virtual Town Hall

[Ross Fuqua]

Hello public library directors!

PLA will be hosting two virtual town hall-style meetings this month to gather feedback about PLA's Public Library Data Service (PLDS). If you have thoughts to share, please consider registering one of these sessions. I plan to attend the one on September 25. More info is below!

Hello,

As you likely have heard, PLDS survey data collection will take a pause next year (in 2020) while PLA and the Measurement, Evaluation and Assessment Committee (MEAC) re-envision the survey and how it could better serve the field. PLA will hold two virtual town halls to hear feedback from the public library field on how a new tool could better support your needs. The town halls will take place on Wednesday, September 11 and Wednesday, September 25 from 1:00-2:00 pm CST. You can register for either town hall at the top of this page<http://www.ala.org/pla/resources/publications/plds/>. Your input will be used to develop a new online tool that will help libraries use data better as well as assist PLA in advocating for public libraries nationally. We hope you can make it to one of the sessions!

Best,
