CHICAGO–Core hosts the webinar “Best of Core at ALA Annual Conference: Thinking Big” on October 25, 2023, at 1 p.m. CT. Faced with deficiencies of collection and space, and a failed tax referendum to address these needs, the Louisville Free Public Library opted for a transformative investment that reshaped how the community is served. Explore the holistic and constantly evolving approach to how this library reaches their patrons, how they optimize staffing and nurture visitor interaction and how they leverage the built environment to achieve enduring value. The program focuses on the institutional, financial, and design logic for delivering transformative change across a library system. Administrators, facility managers, and operations leadership staff are particularly encouraged to attend this webinar.
