Thanks to the AASL/ALSC/YALSA Interdivisional Committee on School/Public Library Cooperation there is a new toolkit out to encourage engagement between public and school libraries.

You can access it and print for FREE: http://www.ala.org/alsc/publications-resources/professional-tools/school-public-library-partnerships

The toolkit includes sections on:

* Getting Started: How to Initiate the Collaborative Process

* Why School-Public Library Partnerships Matter: Research to Support Your Collaborative Efforts

* Successful School-Public Library Partnerships: Concrete Examples of Collaboration that Works

* Continuing the Partnership: How to Keep the Collaboration Going

* Templates & Additional Resources: Tools to Help Facilitate Collaboration

Have a good day,
