Two city libraries 13 miles
apart are seeking innovative ideas about collaboration
They are already doing the obvious things such as sharing programming.
Maine does not have library systems. Libraries are locally controlled and
financed. Any innovative ideas on how these two totally separated communities
and libraries can share? (Any changes that may occur need to be approved by the
two communities that fund the libraries.)
We developed a staffing concept
called "two-in-the-box" - this is when there are two professionals
with the same positions at each organization. They can mirror their services,
increasing access to library professionals. Alexandar Cohen
