In 2023, Brooklyn Public Library launched a research project to
collect and study cardholder signup policies from public libraries
across the nation. The project aims to identify the range of policies
and procedures which govern cardholder access as well as the rationale
used for establishing these policies. Research findings have been
summarized in a report
made available to the library field beginning spring 2024. Join us for a
discussion about the inspiration for this study, how the research was
conducted, and key findings and takeaways using data from more than
1,800 public libraries across the United States.
