the four libraries who contributed meeting rooms to make these events
possible. One of the biggest roles libraries play in afterschool is
providing resources, services, and programs to support youth and
other afterschool providers. Hopefully, this is event will provide you
with an opportunity to network with some of those hard to reach providers
who could really benefit from resources at your library.
