Culture Counts is a cloud-based software platform that can be used to evaluate the impact of library services for individuals and the local community in a simple and cost-effective way.

In consultation with the library sector, we have developed and tested a set of metrics that describe important library outcomes.

Many Australian libraries are already using Culture Counts to demonstrate the value their library adds to people’s lives.
