Abstract

ABSTRACT Communities may need new skills and supports to succeed in a rapidly changing workforce environment. Public libraries can help their communities develop economic resilience and equity in the face of multiple possible futures by undergoing a three-step process: gathering data on key trends impacting the workforce, assessing the benefits and burdens of those trends on the community, and designing services to maximize benefits and minimize burdens. Three trends are explored as an example of this process: AI and Automation; Creative Economy; and Gigs, Sharing, and Entrepreneurship.
