A Library Partnership = Neighborhood Resource Center, featuring the Alachua County Library District's The Library Partnership. Speaker: Chris Culp, Public Services Division Director in the Alachua County Library District. (Florida)

Baltimore's Virtual Supermarket: Grocery Delivery to Your Library or Community Site, featuring the Baltimarket partnership between the Baltimore City Health Department and the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

I was particularly impressed with the Baltimarket<http://www.baltimarket.org/virtual-supermarket/> grocery delivery program in Baltimore, Maryland. The coordinator, Laura Flamm, was eager to talk to other communities interested in starting programs to address "food desert" issues in urban and rural communities.
