Kudos to 2017 ULC Top Innovators

 

It’s amazing what can happen when you harness the power of innovation to connect people with vital resources and opportunities. Just consider the recent winners recognized by the 2017 Urban Libraries Council (ULC) Innovations Initiative. This great group of public libraries is full of success stories! And each one began with a strategic program that addressed a community need.  In this age of the patron, we at Innovative are very inspired by these achievements and the way you continue to encourage your communities to learn, connect, and leverage technology to thrive. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Take a closer look and get inspired by their winning programs.
