Partnering With Other Entities
Working together
Whether in informal get- togethers or in more formal settings, it's vitally important to generate and maintain good relationships with a variey of people all across the spectrum of your community.
Modern library leaders know that staying in an ivory tower doesn't work. That's why they inceasingly seek out mutually productive partnerships.
Bringing it all together . . .
Other libraries, nonprofits, even for-profits — the list of potential partners is almost endless.
Today's library leaders welcome working with other libraries, government bodies, nonprofits and for-profit entities. Why? To stretch dollars and be seen as a peer organization. Partnerships help spread the message that the library supports lifelong learning, jobs and quality of life — and produce tangible benefits for all partners.
Ellen Miller's own personal role as a local and state trustee has resulted in her advocating partnerships nationally — and given her a unique perspective when it comes to meeting client needs. For some libraries, she's found that it means reviewing the ABCs. For others, it entails advice on taking partnering to the next level.
