SUMMARY:Enhancing Library Capacity & Growing Community Connections: Libraries Without Borders and the CT State Library
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin us for a panel presentation with Libraries Without 
 Borders US and the CT State Library along with representatives from the six 
 pilot libraries that participated in a year-long project highlighting 
 unique ways libraries can grow their reach and sustainably connect 
 community members to their resources. Each of the six libraries had the 
 opportunity to use local community and library assessment data to design 
 and implement creative\, relevant outreach solutions. From a refreshed 
 delivery van turned bookmobile to satellite library stations to 
 community-driven storytelling pathways\, these projects worked to build 
 trust and grow habits that deepen library connections for new and existing 
 users.\n\nThis panel will kick-off the Reimagining Library Outreach and 
 Access series of 10 workshops to take place over the next nine months that 
 will provide library staff with strategies\, tools\, and frameworks to 
 expand their reach and impact within their communities. Using their own 
 library and local data\, participants will have the opportunity to evaluate 
 barriers to access within their own communities and to reconsider their 
 approach to outreach utilizing their existing assets and 
 structures.\n\nPilot CT Public Libraries:\n\n\n	David M. Hunt Library
