Hello! Just a reminder that if your library is considering a partnership with a school, please consult your attorney to create a written agreement governing the partnership. Schools have different legal authorities and duties with regards to privacy, agency over children, curricular choices etc, than public libraries do and it is important to understand what processes may need to be altered to comply with both the school and public library legal requirements, and to protect the library and its staff from unnecessary liability.

CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov<mailto:abuse@michigan.gov> I do a bookmobile to our HS since they don't have a library.

I know it's been done before elsewhere. If you have experiences with such a program, and perhaps have documentation to share, I would greatly appreciate any knowledge and insight anyone can impart.
