Research Institute for Public Libraries

Do you want to learn about:

• Designing outcome-based evaluation of programs and services
• Assessing the needs of your community
• Techniques for tracking public library data and using these data for planning, management, and demonstrating the library's worth
• Using data and stories to document the impact of your library

Join Michigan public library leaders in August 2019 to learn about these topics and more in an intensive, two-day regional institute hosted by the Library of Michigan in partnership with the Colorado State Library and the Colorado Library Consortium. Launched in 2015, the Research Institute for Public Libraries (RIPL) meets a distinct need of public libraries in rural, suburban, and urban areas for practical evaluation skills.

Fifty participants will walk away from the RIPL Regional with tools for evaluation, confidence in building research into their activities, and a network of colleagues for future learning and success.
