Leveraging Library Collaboration Webinar
ESPECIALLY FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS! Part of the Collaborating for Community Success Series.
Municipalities involve the work of many departments, including the public library. Sometimes this is a seamless collaboration, and at other times there are serious conflicts about roles, responsibilities, and legal requirements. In part one of a series of offerings on the topic of public library and local government relations, we will:
- acknowledge some common pain points between these two entities
- examine factors that have led to improved and functional relationships between libraries and municipalities
- celebrate some of the outcomes these relationships have made possible.
Participants will come away with ideas and examples to help do the hard work of relationship development. Specifically designed for municipal and county employees and elected officials.
Presenters: Kami Lynch, Municipal Clerk Specialist with UW-Extension and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities and Teresa Schmidt, Public Library Administration Consultant, Bureau of Libraries, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
This session will be recorded and professionally captioned.
