Event:

Sometimes it is easy to overlook what is right in front of us. This session will focus on creating partnerships within your community to meet your patrons needs. These might include new partnerships with agencies, clubs, organizations, or businesses. You will be asked to help brainstorm some ideas and start making some plans on getting started.

Outcomes:

• Create a list of potential community partnerships and assets

• Identify community needs and match potential partners and the library's assets to plan to address that need

• Identify stakeholders and contacts related to needs and partners • Create a potential script for that initial conversation
