"The Library Speakers Consortium is a wonderful, set-and-forget, library program that our community adores. First and foremost, the quality and quantity of authors for the very reasonable price is something we could not have afforded on our own and the monthly promotional materials make promoting the events a breeze. We are continually in awe of the author diversity across target audience, race, gender, subject, and genre."

"The ALC has broadened our scope and allowed us to reach new audiences. Prior to ALC, we were lucky to coordinate 6 professional and personal development webinars per year -- now our numbers have multiplied, and our alumni participation underscored their value. It's a win win for a small alumni team."

"The ALC has allowed us to easily offer high quality virtual events -- and engage a wider population of our community without being constrained by geographical location. Once we got up and running, this is an incredibly wasy platform to use, the team at ALC is responsive and helpful, and it helps fill in programming gaps by providing consistent diverse virtual events."
