Because we passionately believe in the power of public libraries, Duckor & Associates empowers libraries to secure the status and resources to achieve their vital mission. Our approach results in systemic and cultural change.

Tumultuous financial times give us the gift of opportunity to candidly and thoroughly assess a library's organization from top to bottom.  The current economic climate calls for the unconventional.  Managed change and clear strategic thinking are essential factors for libraries and their future.

To help empower your library system during these challenging times, we offer the following services:

• Public Library BluePrint™ - a proprietary strategic process that will guide a library to a customized strategic plan.  The process ensures a solid framework for discussion, making certain all voices are heard, and a disciplined approach to achieve results.
• Library and Information Center Stakeholder Relationship Management™ (LICSRM) - a proprietary guide to surviving and thriving in the 21st century.  LICSRM is a hands-on sales tool that provides a comprehensive and disciplined approach for building long-term, effective relationships within the community - - both internally and externally.
• 4 + 3Ps of Library Marketing © - a marketing plan that effectively applies marketing principles to the library world in order to deliver the library's mission each and every day.  The plan ensures that all customer segments have a WOW experience which builds library loyalty.
• Library Business Case © - the key sales tool to help capture short- and long-term operations funding through a new internal and external understanding of the library's role.

Our service offerings are based on 10 years of Minneapolis Public Library service, 15 years of community and economic development, and 30 years of executive business and consultative experience.
