Data Storytelling Toolkit for Libraries
A practical guide to help library staff turn data into meaningful, persuasive stories for real-world audiences.
Data Storytelling
Libraries today face a common challenge: abundant data, but limited time or resources for turning that data into stories that resonate with stakeholders. The DSTL addresses this gap by offering guided, practice-oriented tools that guide library staff through the process of shaping data into stories grounded in library practice and community contexts.
