DO YOU WANT TO ENSURE THAT YOUR LIBRARY IS AT THE CENTER OF YOUR COMMUNITY?
This course gives small and rural library workers the tools to build genuine community investment, meaningful partnerships, and lasting relationships, all without a big budget or a large staff. ABOUT THIS COURSEIn a small library, relationships are how the work gets done. Self-Paced Course Materials Small libraries have something larger systems often lack: the opportunity to know their community deeply and be known in return. In this course, you'll learn how to cultivate that advantage through practical relationship-building strategies, community outreach that actually reaches people, and the emotional intelligence skills that make connections stick. You'll explore how to get your community genuinely invested and involved in your library, build partnerships with local organizations and businesses, and create the kind of presence that makes your library indispensable. Because in a small town, the library that knows its people is the library that thrives. This is a fully self-paced, asynchronous course. You will have six months to move through the material.
