American Libraries Recognizes Book The Purpose-Based Library

Amigos sponsors The Conference on The Purpose-Based Library

Find your path to survival, success, and growth and meet authors of The Purpose-Based Library, John Huber (Lean Library Management) and Steve Potter (public library administrator) at the August 24-25 Conference on the Purpose-Based Library in Kansas City, MO. Recently, American Libraries recognized their book in this article.

The day and a half conference will examine the premises behind Huber and Potter’s book:

• Survival depends on quicker, faster, better lean core services
• Success depends on community/library partnerships and value-added metrics
• Growth depends on libraries communicating, reflecting and pursuing their true purpose

During the first day of the conference, you will learn to use The Purpose-Based Library approach to developing an essential, sustainable, community based library. As well as examine the community pyramid and dashboard metrics. On day two, you will break into small groups and begin to take the first steps in developing a work plan for implementing the approach all while having Huber and Potter available for questions.

"We've planned an exciting conference for those libraries interesting in adopting all or some of the concepts presented in The Purpose-Based Library," says Tracy Rochow Byerly, Chief Communications, Education and Membership Officer. "Authors and implementers will be there to interact with attendees at this event to add value and take these ideas to the next level."
