Community Engagement
Resources to help libraries engage with their communities.
Connection Creators
This discussion group discusses how to support the services libraries provide their community through, for example, identifying and building partnerships and developing best practices for marketing these services.
We also brainstorm ways to promote new and established services to your community.
The next meeting is forthcoming.
The recording of the January meeting (1:01:20) where we discussed what you need from the Community Engagement and Resources Program, Financial Literacy resources and successes and challenges of 2021 is available on BLD's YouTube channel.
