The CSLP Outreach Committee needs your help!

• The CSLP Outreach Committee recognizes the role of the library as a community connector. The committee is working on creating a toolkit to provide support and resources that empower libraries to build community relationships, serve a diverse range of community members, and expand library services beyond the library building.
• Use this form to help us gather resources for the CSLP Outreach Toolkit. A resource could be an example of successful programs or outreach services, future programming ideas, relevant articles, webinars, websites, and relationship building ideas, just to name a few. The toolkit is digital, so it is important that the resource is available online so that we can link to it on a webpage.
