<p class="Pa1" style="margin-left:.5in"><span class="A2"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Communities are groups of people who share a set of values or interests, who come together for a specific reason, and/or
who reside in a certain area, including virtual locations. Communities are changing, yet continue to be especially important to the success and future of libraries. With the pressures on libraries to connect with their users and show positive impact on the
communities in which they serve, as well as the ever increasing digital nature of information and ways people interact, the notion of community is evolving and has new meaning. How do you define community? How does community impact your institution and what
you offer?</span></i></span><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
