Local Libraries Advancing Community Goals, 2016

Local Libraries Advancing Community Goals, 2016

ICMA Issues Report on Libraries and Local Governments

ICMA (International City/County Management Association), the Aspen Institute, and the Public Library Association (PLA) released a report, “Local Libraries Advancing Community Goals, 2016,” which shares the results of a survey of nearly 2,000 local government leaders. It found that local governments see public libraries as a key resource in supporting education and digital inclusion goals.

It offers three areas that would be good opportunities for libraries and local governments to work together:

·         Collaborating on community priorities

·         Information sharing about community issues

·         Finding funding sources
