Give Your Library the Edge
by Barbie E. Keiser
The Edge Initiative is a strategic planning and resource allocation toolkit designed to help public libraries "demonstrate how their work adds value and supports strong outcomes" in the communities they serve. Developed by the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and in partnership with 12 library and local government associations, Edge was launched in late January 2014. Today, "over 1,700 public libraries are using Edge to explore the strategic needs of their community and align their public technology services with critical community priorities." (That's nearly 20% of all public libraries in the U.S.)
