The Importance of Stakeholders
• Stakeholders have a stake in the success
of your library
• Every organization has multiple
stakeholders
 Patrons (all ages), Board Members, Councillors,
Local Businesses, Schools, Community Agencies,
Staff, and so on.
• Each stakeholder has a unique set of priorities
and concerns.
• Engage stakeholders by demonstrating the
value that matters to them.
A Cautionary Tale:
Douglas County, OR
• Population: 107,000; 13,297 km2
• Library system founded in 1953; 11
branches in 2017.
• Funded by County, dependent upon
sales taxes on timber harvests;
declining & unsustainable.
• Community voted in November
2016 against a tax levy to support
library system.
• 10 libraries closed on April 1 2017;
final branch closed May 31 2017.
• Friends of the Library formed a non-
profit organization to run the
libraries using volunteers.
• In early July, the County approved
an intergovernmental agreement to
allow the Friends to reopen the
libraries.
Planning for the Future
• Identify your stakeholders.
Understand what they value: what do they
have a stake in?
Measure what matters to them.
• Use consistent methodologies, to compare
results over time.
• Work toward a standard process for
measuring common impacts.
Table Discussion, Q & A
• Who are your stakeholders?
Patrons, Board Members, Councilors, Local
Businesses, Community Agencies, etc.
• How are your stakeholders unique?
 For each stakeholder, understand what
motivates them, and what they value about the
community and the library.
Measure What Matters
Thank you.

The Importance of Stakeholders • Stakeholders have a stake in the success of your library • Every organization has multiple stakeholders  Patrons (all ages), Board Members, Councillors, Local Businesses, Schools, Community Agencies, Staff, and so on. • Each stakeholder has a unique set of priorities and concerns. • Engage stakeholders by demonstrating the value that matters to them.
  • 10. A Cautionary Tale: Douglas County, OR • Population: 107,000; 13,297 km2 • Library system founded in 1953; 11 branches in 2017. • Funded by County, dependent upon sales taxes on timber harvests; declining & unsustainable. • Community voted in November 2016 against a tax levy to support library system. • 10 libraries closed on April 1 2017; final branch closed May 31 2017. • Friends of the Library formed a non- profit organization to run the libraries using volunteers. • In early July, the County approved an intergovernmental agreement to allow the Friends to reopen the libraries.
  • 11. Planning for the Future • Identify your stakeholders. Understand what they value: what do they have a stake in? Measure what matters to them. • Use consistent methodologies, to compare results over time. • Work toward a standard process for measuring common impacts.
  • 12. Table Discussion, Q & A • Who are your stakeholders? Patrons, Board Members, Councilors, Local Businesses, Community Agencies, etc. • How are your stakeholders unique?  For each stakeholder, understand what motivates them, and what they value about the community and the library. Measure What Matters
  • 13. Thank you. Kimberly Silk, MLS Principal, Brightsail Research & Consulting kim@brightsail.com

Notas do Editor

  1. Keynotes are meant to inspire, and to set the tone for the day. My talk this morning will give you an update on library impact studies, which I hope will provide a foundation for our discussions during the day, and inspire you in terms of how you can continue to demonstrate the value of your libraries.
  2. This table is available in Appendix A, Library Impact Studies in Creating a Culture of Evaluation: Taking your Library from Talk to Action. Bill Irwin & Kimberly Silk, Editors.
