From Insight to Impact: Building a Proactive Model
2026-06-27 09:30 - 11:00 UTC | Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, 2233 S Martin Luther King Dr, Chicago, IL, 60616, United States
Libraries are being asked to move beyond reactive decisions toward a more proactive, connected model — one that links community demographics, cultural and language trends, collection strategy, outreach, and measurable engagement. This session brings together three organizations working collaboratively to listen, learn, and help move this work forward — guided by librarians’ real questions, challenges, and aspirations.
A Collaborative Approach to a Growing Challenge
Across the library ecosystem, the same questions keep surfacing:

How well do collections reflect changing community demographics?
How do cultural and language trends inform selection and programming?
How do outreach efforts connect back to collection strategy?
How is engagement measured, and impact demonstrated?

Rather than addressing these challenges in isolation, three organizations are coming together to convene librarians, share perspectives, and explore more connected, proactive approaches that support stronger outcomes for communities.
Date: June 27, 2026
Time: 9:45 AM – 10:45 AM CT
