<p class="MsoNormal">PLA’s Project Outcome is a free<b><i> </i></b>toolkit designed to help public libraries understand and share the true impact of essential library services and programs by providing simple surveys and an easy-to-use process for measuring
and analyzing outcomes. Project Outcome also provides libraries with the resources and training support needed to apply their results and confidently advocate for their library’s future, helping them turn better data into better libraries. <o:p></o:p></p>
