<p class="MsoNormal">The best example I can think of school and public library partnership in Maine has just started. Iris, a high school librarian (who just won county Teacher of the Year), had her students telling her that they wanted the school library to
stay open longer. Iris talked to a few public libraries in her area, and they are now sending staff to cover after school hours. When Iris first mentioned this, it blew my mind. I thanked her as a former public librarian because (in my experience) school libraries
rarely reach out to their public counterparts. Needless to say, the public youth librarians are thrilled to hang out with tons of teens and the teens are happy they can use their school library longer. It has really bolstered the relationships between all
of the librarians participating and will hopefully lead to some more coordinated efforts for teen services.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The logistics are still being ironed out: there are background checks, and the schedule includes public youth librarians from a few different local libraries. So far the result is positive. I can get more details from Iris about how this
is all working if anyone is interested. <o:p></o:p></p>
