Learn How Public Libraries Impact Title/Author Discovery and Book Sales: Data-Driven Insights from the Panorama Project

The Panorama Project is the only cross-industry research project studying the impact of 17,000 U.S. public libraries on title/author discovery and retail sales. The project is using real world data and analytics to provide insights into how libraries affect retail sales. Learn the many ways that libraries promote new authors and connect readers with new titles—and how these activities translate to sales. Hear how Penguin Random House uses libraries to develop audiences for its authors and launch new titles. Publishers and booksellers will leave this session with actionable ideas on to use libraries to connect with book borrowers and buyers.

Speakers:

Cliff Guren, Project Lead, Panorama Project
William Kelly, Adult Programming Manager, Cuyahoga County Public Library
Skip Dye, VP of Library Marketing and Digital Sales and VP of Sales Operations, Penguin Random House

We hope to see you at the session!
