Tech Modernization The library operates with a small staff and a tech stack that includes PHP, jQuery, and privacy friendly analytics (Matomo) along with Cloudflare. This presents an opportunity to offer affordable website modernization, security hardening, and ongoing maintenance tailored for a small public library.
Analytics and Outreach Existing analytics and web optimization tools provide a foundation for a managed analytics and digital outreach service. Propose setup for audience profiling, event promotion, and online program tracking to boost virtual classes and resource usage while preserving resident privacy.
Funding and Grants With revenue in the range of zero to one million dollars, the library could benefit from grant funded technology upgrades and digital resource subscriptions. Position your offering as grant ready support for Wisconsin and library association programs to expand access and services.
Shared Services A small team makes in house IT costly. Offer outsourced IT, library software support, and consortial resource sharing (catalogs, digital collections) to reduce costs and broaden services without adding staff.
Community Partnerships Frame the library as a community hub for digital literacy, media literacy, and local programming by partnering with schools, community organizations, and DPI networks to drive engagement and eligibility for supportive funding.
