2. Only Local on-line Toolkit
See this really nifty idea to tie museum activities with supporting
local communities - concept could be transferable to Main Street! The
“Only Local” Toolkit is designed as a resource for children’s
museum professionals who are interested in working more sustainably and
collaboratively with their local communities. Toolkit components include
how to make the mindset shift to only local and benefits of doing so,
finding local talent, sourcing local materials and a museum case study.
