<p class="MsoNormal">The Library of Michigan is excited to offer Project Outcome workshops this Spring in four Michigan locations!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">April 17 – University Center, Mt. Pleasant<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">April 27 – Redford Township District Library, Redford<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">April 28 – Portage District Library, Portage<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">May 4 – Peter White Public Library, Marquette<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more information and to register, visit the Library of Michigan’s
<a href="https://www.solutionwhere.com/WW/Aspx/Public/Search/ShowCourse.aspx?courseNum=85&cId=67&pCId=0">
workshop registration system</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Public library services put people on the path to literacy, technological know-how, or a better job – but what we are often missing is the data to show it. Outcome measurement helps libraries answer the questions: How can we better measure
and demonstrate our community impact? What good did our services do? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would you like to implement outcome measurement in your library? Join us for this [FREE?] Project Outcome Regional Training, a full day, in-person workshop on [DAY, DATE, TIME] in [CITY]. At this workshop, a Project Outcome trainer will
facilitate a deep-dive into outcome measurement using Project Outcome tools. You will learn how to deploy outcome measures in your library, collect and use resulting data, and leverage the project's support network to ensure successful adoption. Be a part
of a cohort of public libraries interested in implementing Project Outcome to drive change, influence decision making, and demonstrate the true impact of their library’s programs and services on the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal of <a href="https://www.projectoutcome.org/">Project Outcome</a> is to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services. Project Outcome, an initiative of the Public Library Association,
provides simple tools and a supportive online community of library leaders to help public libraries collect insights and data about all the ways we are meeting the needs of our communities. This understanding can improve the way public libraries do business
– from allocating existing resources more efficiently to advocating for new resources more effectively. For more information about Project Outcome, visit
