Small and Rural Libraries Creating the Future

Edge helps public libraries better serve their communities through improved public technology services. The Edge Toolkit is based on a national set of benchmarks for public libraries to evaluate their technology services and includes resources, recommendations, and tools for strategic planning and community engagement. This session will feature small and rural libraries that have used Edge to identify low-cost and no-cost ways to assess their community needs, improve their library’s technology, establish partnerships, and plan for the future. The panel will also share how they communicated with their local leaders about new or improved technology services and support their local economy, workforce, and strong communities.
