Last year, we unlocked the secret to making library data less boring and more joyful. This year, let’s put those numbers to work! Information enthusiasts know statistics aren’t just lists or numbers, they’re stories waiting for their time to shine. We’ll deep-dive into the practice of "data translation,” explore how to pair hard metrics (like circulation and door counts) with compelling community narratives, translate our discoveries for various audiences, and learn how to audit your current data for the strongest impact stories, bridging the gap between complex data and public understanding to ensure our libraries and communities continue to thrive together.
