Book Synopsis Freckle Reports, 2020 and 2021, Combined Edition by : Tim Coates
Download or read book Freckle Reports, 2020 and 2021, Combined Edition written by Tim Coates and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freckle reports are analyses of the data and performance of public libraries in the US, the UK and Australia This edition contains the reports from both 2020 and 2021 The reports describe the decline in use of public libraries and propose actions that can be used to remedy that situation. The 2020 report highlighted a number of specific areas for work, and the 2021 report develops those and adds some new observation made during the time of the pandemic lockdowns Crosby Kemper, director IMLS: "These reports raise the larger challenge of the question of what libraries are about. Are we still about books and reading or are we drifting off into community services of varying degrees of importance to the community. There is a challenge to the focus of library leadership and the strategies for the future. They also raise the question of the pre-pandemic decline in visitor-ship and circulation. There is the shift within circulation to eBooks and audio books and streaming services. Do any of our statistics capture the questions pertinent to the digital divide? Is the decline in computer sessions related to increasing community connectivity and what does that connectivity mean regarding digital literacy? And perhaps the most important question raised in the two reports is 'does the decline in children's circulation have an impact on the educational divide and basic literacy?' Part of the Freckle challenge is whether or not we are even collecting and highlighting the most important strategic information. What information do we need? Would detailed budget information, population diversity, SES information better inform decision making? How do we measure impact beyond basic outputs? Is there a utilitarian answer? Is there an aspirational answer? Are they compatible? With decline in basic outputs are libraries in decline or changing the way they impact communities?"

Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck—on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she’s stuck in her grief over her mother’s death. Her only solace was her late mother’s library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills. On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember—with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he’s forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there’s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn’t read. When Vance’s and Rosie’s paths collide, sparks do not fly. But as they begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off—and they may just find that there’s more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.
