Librarians Networking Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The author challenges librarians everywhere to get involved early and often in community planning and development activities. She shows how to build a grassroots campaign, strengthen the library's connections in the community by forming powerful partnerships, become involved in policy making early, and promote the library's tangible assets. (summary by South TX Library System) Librarians need to work on these partnerships and not just assume everyone in the community values their library. I personally have seen it pay off, when other agencies call and ask you to be a part of their grant project or want to give your library something. The connection must be there in the first place or they won't think of the library for this.
