The High Cost of Dropping Out
Explore how your library can help adults transform their lives and strengthen the community by offering an opportunity to finish high school.
Our mission for public libraries is to help expand their role in the communities they serve through insights and programs that meaningfully impact education and drive economic growth. As the needs of your community evolve, we continue to develop resources for patrons that enhance research, provide learning solutions, support business success, and enable libraries to create more focused programming. The influence libraries have on the greater community can lead to lasting change. Together, we can provide essential content and user-friendly technology that engage learners and encourage patrons to achieve their personal and professional goals.
Whether it’s lifelong learning, strengthening employability, or a desire to up their professional development game, we have eLearning solutions that can help adults turn library cards into opportunities for growth.
Supporting your small business community helps fuel local economic growth. Become a destination for entrepreneurs and business owners alike with the legal resources, templates, information, and online planning tools they’re looking for.
Prove that a library card can open doors to learning. Whether they’re just starting to read, striving, or fervent readers, your library can offer collections that meet patrons right where they are with their reading skills.
From providing relevant content to supporting open dialogue and inclusion, the public library continues to transform itself to serve users in unique ways. Valuable resources such as encyclopedias on current topics, newspapers, and magazines can help with this all-important mission.
Set students in your community up for success with materials that span core subjects, eBooks from today’s top publishers, and college and career planning tools. Solutions are designed to meet the needs of diverse learners.
Build library traffic with programs that correspond with calendar events like National Car Care Month in April and October; use step-by-step business-planning resources to better guide entrepreneurs; or supplement advanced programs with online learning options.
Part of partnering to change lives is sharing what works. When it comes to library solutions like data, literacy, and learning, we have people talking. Here’s proof!
