To effectively meet the needs of our communities, librarians must embrace data-informed decision-making practices. Data provides valuable insights into community needs, highlights areas of success, and enhances our confidence in decision-making processes. While delving into data analysis may seem daunting, getting started can be simpler than anticipated. This presentation will empower you to initiate and leverage data analysis to enhance patron engagement immediately.

Learning Outcomes:
Understand how to identify primary data sources crucial for informed decision-making.
Understand and apply essential Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor and assess library performance effectively.
Develop strategies to track and measure the impact of library initiatives on patron engagement.
