Kenn Bicknell, Manager of Policy, Research, and Library Services for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Research Library & Archive, discusses how the library works to be “future-ready”. The agency has expanded the mobility agenda while reducing resources for a library that serves a big community. With limited staff and budget, and an increase in data and knowledge, the Metro Library set priorities to maximize its resources.

Digitization of the collection and then promoting historical assets helped built a sense of community across many disciplines.
