<p class="MsoNormal">The Aspen Institute has released an <a href="http://www.libraryvision.org/download_action_guide">
Action Guide</a> for libraries to accompany the 2014 report, <a href="http://csreports.aspeninstitute.org/Dialogue-on-Public-Libraries/2014/report">
Rising to the Challenge: Re-envisioning Public Libraries</a>. In a recent <a href="https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=541&reset=1">
Infopeople webinar</a>, Susan Hildreth an Aspen Fellow, shared highlights from the report and the new Action Guide. The guide includes worksheets and exercises that can be used to facilitate important conversations and planning around the future of libraries.
These resources were piloted by libraries around the United States in communities with a population size ranging from 1,900 to 1,100,000.<o:p></o:p></p>
