>From Potlucks to Planning: Community Engagement Success at a Small, Rural Library
Cindy Fesemyer was a newcomer to a small community when she took the job as their new Library Director. During her seven years in that position, she grew from a clueless newbie to a strong community advocate. With some training, strong partnerships, and little bit of fake-it-till-you-make-it, she and her team positioned the library as a go-to resource for the entire community. She shares her experience with community engagement efforts as an example of libraries at the center of small rural communities.

Your biggest assets are your employees and volunteers. Creating and maintaining a culture of professionalism is important to internal customer satisfaction, which includes providing services to those that use your library, and treating them as you would treat those external customers.

Binding Glue: Trauma, Resilience, and the Small Town Library
"Increasingly, the answers to our patrons' questions seem to lie outside the walls of our libraries rather than within them. As more and more folks approach our desks with questions regarding basic needs assistance and other social problems, we must begin to consider our work in ways beyond books and typical customer service. We know that libraries can change lives. In smaller communities, libraries can also save lives. This session will highlight the difficulties facing many patrons, how the public library serves to protect them, and ways our institutions can strengthen the resiliency of individuals and communities."

SRLC Presents: The Connected Library - Patrick Lloyd<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=317>

The Connected Library: Vetting and Partnering with Social Service Providers
Libraries tend to think that we can do it all! While we may host events from weddings to videogame tournaments and although we may answer questions on everything from research papers to restaurant recommendations, sometimes we need to know when to reach out to experts in our communities. As libraries continue moving to address more than just the informational needs of our patrons, it is important that we connect and build relationships with local professionals focused on mental health, basic needs, and other social challenges of our communities. This session will explore why it is imperative that libraries connect with social service providers in their communities, how to cultivate these connections, and tips to make sure the agencies you work with are effective, ethical partners.
