Public Service extra services
by Elissa Zimmer 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Hi all, I am curious if your library offers any of the following: - Food pantry - however big or small, refrigerated items, dry goods, etc. - What does this space look like for your library and how do you monitor it for use and spoiled items? Do you partner with anyone? - Community gardens - who maintains it (library, municipality, partnership?), where is it located, how do you staff it, etc.? - Menstrual products - does your library distribute these? If in a dispenser, is it free or small fee? Do you keep them behind the desk? In all restrooms? - Bonus - does your library offer anything else somewhat non-traditional that you'd like to share about? If you could also share your library size and setting (urban, suburban, rural), that would also be interesting! Thanks for your help! Happy to document all answers. Surveying this so I can let other staff know what is common across libraries Thanks, Elissa -- Elissa Zimmer (she/they) Assistant Director Van Buren District Library 200 N Phelps St Decatur, MI 49045 269-423-4771
