Building Resilient Libraries: Responding to Changing Patron Needs Through People, Programs, and Partnerships

Beth Wahler, Library Consultant and Researcher

Public libraries are increasingly serving as trusted community anchors, responding to a growing range of patron needs and behaviors while supporting staff in an increasingly complex service environment. Many libraries seek practical, sustainable approaches that both strengthen patron service and support employee well-being.

Meet our keynote speaker! Beth Wahler, Consultant.

Focusing on people, programs, and partnerships, library consultant and researcher Beth Wahler will present evidence-based strategies for effectively improving outcomes for patrons while fostering healthier, more resilient library workplaces. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for supporting themselves and their colleagues and renewed optimism about the library's unique role in strengthening communities.
