Are you responsible for adult learning in your library? Are you eager for your library to create transformative outcomes in your community? You will leave this session with peer strategies for maximizing the value of public library adult learning resources. This session will be comprised of a panel presentation and will focus on three primary learning objectives. Through the experiences of the panelists you will be able to understand the most crucial and important challenges and gaps that libraries face in supporting adult learning; evaluate adult learning resources and programs to ensure that library offerings are addressing and serving patrons in ways that lead to successful, measurable outcomes; and understand how public and state libraries can partner to provide complementary adult learning resources that support patrons in achieving their educational goals. Come hear success stories and leave with actionable insights that illustrate innovative approaches to transforming lives through educational attainment, upskilling, and personal and professional development and put your library at the center of your community's mission to empower lives through learning!
