SUMMARY:Session 2: Assessing External Community Assets\, Needs and Barriers with Libraries Without Borders
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will provide strategies that support 
 libraries in identifying their optimal role within their community based on 
 local assets\, needs\, and barriers. Participants will leave with the tools 
 to build and implement their own data collection strategy. This workshop 
 includes a working session for participants to draft a community data 
 collection plan for their own library. \n\nThis session is part of the 
 Reimagining Library Outreach and Access series of 10 workshops taking place 
 through March 2025 that will provide library staff with strategies\, 
 tools\, and frameworks to expand their reach and impact within their 
 communities. Using their own library and local data\, participants have the 
 opportunity to evaluate barriers to access within their own communities and 
 to reconsider their approach to outreach utilizing their existing assets 
 and structures.\n\nPresenter: \n\nLibraries Without Borders US (LWB)\n\nLWB
