training is open to any library staff at all levels. In exchange, we’re asking you to lead a training for other library staff in your region. (More info below.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">3. We all need professional development.
</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Implementing outcomes-based measurement requires a mental shift in how you approach program planning and improves your ability to show progress toward strategic plan goals. This training includes hands-on, in-depth
activities addressing your local library and regional challenges. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

forums to help problem solve your implementation. Learn more about what the training includes:

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">1. Because you need a better story to tell than your circulation statistics.
</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Library utilization is changing. Outcomes answer the question “so what?” about the programs and services your library offers. Reporting to your stakeholders that 98% of moms feel more confident in supporting their child’s
learning to read after attending storytime is more compelling than your 8% decrease in checkouts.
