Positioning the Library
More than ever, library leaders must tell the story of their value to the community in vivid terms that combine a compelling narrative with concrete facts. This happens in a myriad of ways.
This category recognizes innovations in expanding awareness of the library’s strategic value to the community; strengthening the library brand, including key messages that convey the library story; engaging stakeholders, decision-makers and community leaders; engaging non-users; marketing, public relations and effective communications.
Americans are spending less time reading for enjoyment. This reduces their opportunities for discovering new ideas, encountering skillful writing, learning new skills, and feeding their imagination. Furthermore, adults who read for pleasure inspire children to read. KCLS set out to make active reading a community priority throughout its service area.
