Communicate, Collaborate & Create!
The three C’s for having a big impact in YOUR library community: Communicate: Become known in your community both inside and
outside of the library.
Collaborate: Form partnerships with other institutions, organizations, and individuals who want to make a difference.
Create: Once you have made connections and aligned your ideas, you can create programs that meet the needs of the communities that YOU serve.
