"From 2025 to 2026, ULC partnered with Everyday Democracy to train 50 library staff across 12 libraries in the United States and Canada on the techniques of multipartial facilitation—a form of facilitation that encourages and actively supports diverse participants and perspectives. Over this time, participant libraries facilitated 32 programs reaching a total of 674 attendees. Topics included youth workforce development, urban renewal, food justice, gender, race, housing, AI, education, civil liberties, and more. Along the way, we learned a lot about the value and impact of these conversations, and how libraries can continue to be bridges. Read more for ULC's lessons learned."

"As community needs shift, libraries are among the few civic institutions that provide the stability and essential infrastructure needed to navigate that change together. ULC’s new policy roadmap, “Future Scenarios: Library Space & Design,” offers recommendations on balancing physical library space and digital technologies to maximize library potential and presents exploratory future scenarios based on those recommendations."

"In today's library world, staff are often asked to use, and even lead, data analysis work without ever receiving solid training. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to build on your skills, Data Analytics 101 will guide you through the full data process—from framing a good question to presenting your findings with impact. In this 4-session workshop series, ULC's Research & Data Analyst Corissa Goodrich will provide library leaders with the information they need to advance their library’s data strategy."

"As part of ULC's collaboration with the Safe Routes Partnership, we are excited to announce a new resource as part of the Safe Routes to Libraries initiative. The Urban Libraries Council's Safe Routes to Libraries GIS Mapping Tool & accompanying Tip Sheet help public libraries and local governments better understand the existing infrastructure supporting pedestrian, bike, scooter, and transit access to libraries, while also setting a baseline for opportunities to improve access. These resources are part of ULC's larger Safe Routes to Libraries resource package, which includes the previously published Safe Routes to Libraries Impact Brief."
