Carol Smallwood, MLS Retired, Pellston Public Schools Pellston, MI smallwood@tm.net Seeking Submissions for Proposed Anthologies from Practicing Librarians 1. Library Collaborations with Writers, Artists, Musicians and Other Creative Community Members How local writers, artists, musicians and other creative people and libraries help each other and their community. These creative members (who are also voters) appreciate the resources and stimulus libraries provide the creative process and like making their work known. Librarians are asked to share successful activities and collaborations with these patrons. 2. Library Services for Multicultural Patrons to Encourage Library Use How to make the multi-cultured community members regular library users. A how-to for librarians restricted by time, money, and staffing: creative librarians using various outreach methods to overcome language and cultural barriers to serve all those in their communities and turn them into regular patrons. 3. Publicity Methods to Keep Libraries in the News An anthology by and for librarians striving to spread the word what their libraries offer, what they do, their service role. Changing economics and life styles presents challenges to librarians often restricted by cutbacks in staff, hours, and money: how creative librarians using many publicity methods to promote their libraries and make them recognized as an essential resource for all ages.
