Building relationships with other organizations that serve the public has a range of benefits, from gaining community knowledge to increasing opportunities for programming and outreach. This session will discuss the importance of partnerships between libraries and community organizations including after-school program providers, mental health providers, shelters, city parks and recreation departments. Attendees will learn how to select partner organizations, initiate contact, articulate goals in creating partnerships and identify the advantages of different types of relationships. Presented by Danielle Duvall, King County Library System and Summer Hayes, Seattle Public Library.

First Tuesdays was designed as a continuing-education opportunity for staff of libraries in Washington State. This free web presentation, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., allows attendees to share their skills and successes and learn about new topics. The special-subject presentations, lasting about 60 minutes, are recorded so that others may listen at their own convenience.
