The Mountain Plains Library Association Advocacy Committee has released a new set of original case studies designed to help library workers, trustees, and advocates navigate the complex challenges facing today’s libraries.

The case studies are intended for use in workshops, staff trainings, board discussions, and professional development sessions. They offer a practical way for groups to examine decision-making processes, assess policy readiness, and identify areas where additional support or clarification may be needed. MPLA encourages libraries to adapt and modify the scenarios to meet their own organizational needs and community contexts.

By engaging with these tools, library stakeholders can strengthen preparedness, promote thoughtful dialogue, and build more resilient institutions across the Mountain Plains region.
