Director of Edge
Urban Libraries Council, Washington, United States
Lourdes Aceves joined ULC in 2013 to launch the Edge Initiative, a first-of-its-kind program to advance the digital inclusion leadership of public libraries. She has dedicated the last eight years to working closely with state and public library leaders and organizational partners to grow an evaluation culture, build public library capacity, and advance outcome measurement in the public library sector. Lourdes is passionate about equipping public libraries to make informed, evidence-based decisions and understand how technology services are being used.
Before joining ULC, she worked at the Illinois Housing Development Authority to administer a TARP Program intended to help struggling Illinois homeowners avoid foreclosure, and at LISC MetroEdge to help cities and nonprofit developers create viable commercial corridors and economic development strategies by providing data and tools to capture the market potential of communities. Lourdes holds a Master’s in Public Policy with a concentration in local economic development.
