- About the Hennens Page
Hennen has addressed professional library associations in 16 U.S. states, 3 Canadian Provinces, and Australia during his career. The "Hennen’s American Public Library Ratings" (HAPLR) have gained media notice in hundreds of communities since their first publication in American Libraries magazine in January of 1999. Hennen developed the HAPLR rating system. The HAPLR system uses data provided by 9,000 public libraries in the United States to create comparative rankings. The comparisons are in broad population categories. HAPLR provides a comparative rating system that librarians, trustees and the public can use to improve and extend library services. Waukesha County Federated Library System, of which the consultant is the director, has won nine National Association of Counties Achievement Awards in the last seven years. These awards were for innovative programs and long range planning efforts. The consultant has the skills to identify cutting edge needs as well as the experience to balance those needs with political and economic realities. Tom's Complete resume Valerie Hennen
