SUMMARY:From Rotary to the Local Bar: Unexpected Allies in Library Outreach (Nebraska Library Commission)
DESCRIPTION:In small and rural communities\, libraries are much more than 
 book lenders - they are lifelines for connection\, education\, and 
 services. Yet with limited staffing\, funding\, and resources\, small 
 libraries often struggle to meet growing community needs alone. This 
 session explores how meaningful partnerships with schools\, health 
 providers\, local businesses\, and civic organizations can dramatically 
 expand a library’s reach and impact - without overextending staff or 
 budgets. Participants will hear real-world examples of successful 
 collaborations: from hosting community health clinics with local 
 providers\, to co-creating arts programming with nonprofits\, to launching 
 book clubs in local bars that bring in new audiences. We’ll also 
 highlight the power of working with Rotary Clubs and other civic groups to 
 co-sponsor events\, fundraise\, and build awareness. Whether your library 
 has one staff member or ten\, smart partnerships can help you amplify your 
 mission.\n\n\n\nFor more information and to register\, visit:
