Invest in your library.
Strengthen your community.
We are a nonprofit that offers comprehensive consulting services for library organizations nationally and internationally.
Libraries are vital centers for community connection, collaboration, and inspiration. But libraries must continually hone their skills and adapt to a changing society in order to thrive.
Library Strategies is a nonprofit housed within a library foundation. With a shared passion and understanding of libraries, we partner with clients to cultivate their potential so that they can better serve and strengthen their communities.
Each service we offer is tailored specifically to your unique goals, but no matter what the project, we promise to engage your whole community in the process, turn the big ideas into practical results, and serve as your ally every step of the way.
