Community Growth Kenosha Public Library is a mid-sized public library system (51-200 employees) focused on inclusivity and community engagement, suggesting opportunities to expand partnerships with local schools, non-profits, and civic programs to scale outreach and service offerings.

Digital & Tech Stack Current tech usage includes AWS, WordPress, SAP, SQL Server, Google Workspace, Teams, ESRI, and analytics with Piwik PRO Core, indicating readiness for cloud-based solutions, data analytics, library management integrations, GIS-enabled programs, and digital learning platforms.

Funding & Initiatives With a revenue profile under $1M and recent grants and program launches (Bookish Beasts, capacity planning post-COVID), there is potential to pitch scalable grant-funded technology upgrades, space optimization, and programmatic fundraising solutions.

Staff Excellence Notable leadership transition and recognition (Director retirement, teen services librarian honored as Library Journal Mover and Shaker) highlight opportunities to propose professional development platforms, digital learning for staff, and targeted community engagement programs.

Partnerships & Outreach Active collaborations with universities, local history centers, and peer libraries demonstrate appetite for joint programs and cross-institution data sharing; ideal for proposing collaborative grant programs, shared digital collections, and interlibrary trust technology.
