OLA Conference 2018

Ever wonder why OLA has Public Library Standards? After all, they are not enforceable, so they don’t mean anything, right? And admit it, looking at all those Standards makes your head spin. But Standards can be the wind beneath your wings! Attend this session and get the scoop on public library standards in Oregon. Learn how we can use them to not just tell our story but help people understand how valuable libraries are. Learn how the Standards allow us to be unique libraries while encouraging the high achievement of agreed upon best practices. You will discover how your library can be a point of light with one bright future by harnessing the power of Standards!
