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.
