From the American Library Association:
Why work with a partner? Because together, we make a greater impact!
Consider the big-picture goals of library programming — helping to create communities that are connected, knowledgeable, creative, civically engaged, healthy, economically vital, welcoming, joyful and caring (or all of the above!). How can libraries reach these goals and add value to their work through partnerships?
Partnering for Stronger Programming: A Toolkit for Libraries provides five tools for library workers with actionable steps to help partnerships grow sustainably, meet goals, expand organizational capacity, thoughtfully engage with partner audiences, and more. The five different tools can be used individually or in combination.
Library programming is something all NYS libraries are required to provide, and overseeing it is a main responsibility of the library director. Depending on the size of your staff, programming may be something you implement yourself or delegate to other staff members or volunteers.
Library programming comes in a variety of shapes and sizes for patrons all ages and abilities and provides an opportunity for engagement with patrons and collaboration with partners.
