PCI is national provider of quality webinars and online programming for library employees and library organizations. SWON purchases these webinars so that our members can participate in them at our discounted rates!

 

The public library is often called on to be “all things to all people.”  As the list of “all things” continues to grow it is getting harder to deliver on this expectation.  Partnering with community can be the answer to solve this need.  Identifying the needs of community and then partnering with the correct resource can be a win-win solution for patrons and others.  There is no need to recreate the wheel and there are significant benefits involved for the library and the community partner.
 
Attendees will learn how to:
 
Assess the community’s needs and inventory what the library can/should do
Identify community partners 
Assemble the “ask”
Build benefits package – to portray the message “how the partner benefits from an alignment with libraries?”
