They were designed and published back in 2018 as an outcome of projects running within the UK&#8217;s innovation fund <a href=\"https:\/\/dcmslibraries.blog.gov.uk\/2018\/11\/12\/30-projects-46-library-services-what-did-we-learn\/\">Libraries: Opportunities for Everyone<\/a> (LOFE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fund enabled participating libraries to try new, innovative activities without fear of failure. In total, 30 projects were funded, and they were running in 331 locations across England, operated by 46 library services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flowcharts show what the library services had learned from the projects. The greatest thing is that they are specific case studies showing the benefits of using a library service in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backed by facts, stats, and opinions from project participants, they are a fantastic source of inspiration. You can read the full evaluation of the LOFE project <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/754746\/Evaluation_of_the_LOFE_fund_final_report.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visuals are shown below.
