	Connecting and collaborating with community members, local businesses, community organizations in order to center the library as a community resource and safe meeting place for all.

	Yes, experienced trauma in library and somehow still in the profession.
12:12:57 From Dacy Shute to Everyone:

12:13:13 From Catherine Starr to Everyone:
	Agreed, Dacy!
12:13:13 From Sarah Landreth to Everyone:
	YES - I feel this is our most important role. Connecting people in the one last public place that is both free and free of judgement.
12:13:32 From Eboni Oliver to Everyone:

12:25:15 From Lauren Ferrara to Everyone:
	this is one time when talking to anyone and everyone can work for you.....get the local mouths running about your organization.....
12:25:26 From Mariah Ferraro to Everyone:
	I love this analogy
12:25:40 From Lloyd Jacobson to Host and Panelists:
	Q: In a large branch system how can neighborhood locations connect with communities without ruffling feathers of central admins. Wheres the balance? Whats the rules of thumb? What should central admins be more willing to let us innovate?
12:25:53 From Toni Ridgway-Woodall to Everyone:
	Access to technology has been a challenge for our patrons. We applied for a community grant from Wal-Mart (super easy!) and were able to afford unlocked Samsung tablets for our adult reading program prizes. Game changer. e-content number have improved.
12:26:07 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	Just a reminder that I will be sharing the chat on our blog - so you’ll have access to all these great comments!
12:26:13 From Dacy Shute to Everyone:
	We revamped our summer reading prizes as well for adults. Instead of an object we give a $5 gift card to a local business. It's not quite the same vein as mentioned earlier, but it reduces landfill waste and encourages the support of local businesses. We ask them to donate 10 and we purchase 10 so the cost ends up being $2.50 per prize. I am sure you could shift this to being a gift card to maybe a thrift store that supports a non-profit instead?
12:26:44 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	Man, I wish my county's fiscal rules made community grants like that easy to do.
12:27:00 From Julianna Robbins to Everyone:
	Milagros, love it. Actual Miracles!
12:27:20 From Toni Ridgway-Woodall to Everyone:
	The Master Gardeners organization helped us start a seed library.

12:27:56 From Lauren Ferrara to Everyone:
	our community has the largest growing population of Spanish speakers in the state
12:28:09 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	Most of the summer reading prizes we give out now are bookmark (or collector's cards this year), but also a voucher for free tickets to a baseball game and a voucher for a free book from our FOL bookstores. Oh, and a free book to keep at sign up!
12:28:32 From Lauren Ferrara to Everyone:
	sean love the bookmark idea
12:28:36 From Dena Kimball to Everyone:
	I did this last summer! Partnered with our local garden supply Primex! All of my programs in the summer were based on gardening and pollinators!
12:28:41 From Toni Ridgway-Woodall to Everyone:
	(The Wal-Mart grant is very easy. they have to give money to the communities they are in. The app is about 5-10 questions. Not about your spending. You spend, turn in receipts and the leftover funds at the end.)
12:29:32 From silvie keen to Everyone:
	summer reading club - bowling passes for kids
12:29:47 From Sarah Landreth to Everyone:
	THIS!  We also added a teaching garden to an unused locked patio.  Increase the number of voices outside of the library asking for your project.
12:29:49 From Dacy Shute to Everyone:
	Target also has community grants
12:30:03 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	The bookmarks have fun facts related to the summer reading theme and our partners, like how the kids' reading is helping reduce their carbon footprint because of our partnership with parks resulting in installing solar panels at the parks.
12:30:10 From Dena Kimball to Everyone:
	Twinkl has incredible printable resources on composting, wormeries, collaborative art projects...Well worth the membership! It works for programs for all ages!
12:30:14 From Toni Ridgway-Woodall to Everyone:
	We have less than 10k patrons so we are not that big.
12:30:56 From Cassidy Elmer to Everyone:
	Summer reading prizes that partnered with local organizations that we did - passes to local waterpark, GC to local music store, movie passes, free meal vouchers from local restaurants
12:31:01 From Lauren Ferrara to Everyone:
	I got a bookmark from a library once that was decorated for Christmas....I still use it....
12:31:02 From Valerie Popadich to Everyone:
	Love the bowling pass idea.
12:31:15 From Dena Kimball to Everyone:
	I read What About Worms for my storytime, and made wormeries with 36 kiddos! Great STEM program, everything I needed came from Twinkl!
12:32:17 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	Partnering with our local major league baseball team allows us to give out vouchers for each child to get 2 free tickets to a baseball game in the fall. They are very generous partners!
12:32:19 From Heather Pacheco to Everyone:
	We are doing like Sean and last year moved to coupons from local businesses as summer reading prizes.  (Ours is all-ages.)  It was hugely successful.
12:32:40 From Deena Caswell to Everyone:
	If you have local groups in town like the Rotary or a Chamber of Commerce that feature speakers at their meetings - volunteer to speak about the library! You can both highlight how the library can support the needs of those groups and also gain new contacts for future partnerships
12:33:03 From Toni Ridgway-Woodall to Everyone:
	We create bookmarks and buttons on Canva; free for non-profit-libraries. Dr. Don's has a button making starter kit (community foundation grants can give the nearly $500 needed). Our patrons love the carefully designed bookmarks and buttons. great resource.
12:33:26 From Julie Edwards to Everyone:
	If anyone has any questions for Noah, please feel free to put them in the Q&A!
12:33:55 From Cheryl Rasmussen to Everyone:
	Greenfield's library meeting space hosts Meals on Wheels for a lunch once each month.
12:34:11 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	Our state library association also usually is able to secure passes to places like aquariums and science centers that they then distribute to the county libraries to give out as raffle prizes.
12:34:55 From Toni Ridgway-Woodall to Everyone:
	For Summer Reading you can request State Fair Tickets to give away (generally 50).
12:35:10 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	I was just going to mention that!
12:35:25 From Sean Riley to Everyone:
	They also sponsor a super reader ceremony at the state fair.
12:35:35 From Lauren Ferrara to Everyone:

	I think what would be helpful is knowing where to begin. In a small town, who should I be making sure we have relationships with?
12:47:55 From c d to Everyone:
	Veterans in the community. I am a Veteran who works in the library and I know they are out there, we just need to reach them.
12:48:01 From Kathleen Wade to Host and Panelists:
	Our city has a number of Boards and Commissions ... perhaps we can "infiltrate" each one by being at the table.

	Let's think process... if we were to hire an "outreach librarian" how can we integrate them into current staffing structure, so that outreach is not a "standalone" function for this position? Instead, we want them to be the partnership conduit, specialist, expert etc..... I would love staffing advice. Need concrete examples. Thanks!
12:51:22 From Mariah Ferraro to Everyone:

	It was Calgary Public Library
12:58:06 From Beth Yates to Everyone:
	I think there is a struggle, oftentimes, between staff who want to get out and develop partnerships and administration who are trying to keep desks covered. It may requires some inventive ways of rethinking our services so we can get out there more.  And it definitely requires administration buy-in/prioritization.
12:58:07 From Catherine Starr to Everyone:
	Thank you Noah, Julie et al. This training was wonderful! I need to push off to get on the Ref Desk.
12:58:08 From Jessie Baker to Host and Panelists:

12:58:12 From Mary Marques to Everyone:
	Thank you for sharing these stories!
12:58:14 From Dena Kimball to Everyone:
	A great thing to keep in mind when asking for community input, if you have an underserved population...you have an overserved population. Be mindful to reach out to groups and organizations that may have been left out in the past. Reach out to those that aren't already at the library.
