Project Outcome: Planning for Summer Reading Surveys

Central Time

Summary

It’s never too early to start planning for next year’s summer learning programs! Measuring the outcomes of programs and services helps libraries with decision making, program improvements, advocacy, and funding requests. PLA staff gathered stories from libraries participating in Project Outcome to create implementation tips and best practices to help libraries feel confident implementing Summer Reading surveys next year. Learn how libraries have used the standardized Summer Reading surveys to measure the success of their summer learning programs and demonstrate their impact in the community.

 

Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will:

• Know the key patron outcomes measured in Project Outcome Summer Reading surveys;
• Understand common survey challenges; and
• Be able to apply survey implementation tips and best practices in their library.

 

Who Should Attend

This webinar is open to everyone but will be most helpful to libraries interested in measuring summer learning outcomes. PLA’s Project Outcome is free online toolkit designed to help public libraries understand and share the impact of their programs and services by providing simple surveys and an easy-to-use process for measuring and analyzing outcomes.
