As the Aspen Institute says, libraries are being challenged "by the rapid transition to a new economy in which knowledge and creativity are the drivers of productivity and economic growth, and information, technology and learning are central to economic performance and prosperity." This workshop focuses on the strategies and action steps identified by the institute to help public libraries align with community goals, provide access to content in all formats, cultivate leadership and ensure long-term sustainability.
