Description
Seeking new ways to support the community's diverse needs, the library hired the city's first licensed social worker in 2016. The library's community resource coordinator serves as a social advocate for patrons in crisis and establishes collaborations and communications with nonprofits that strengthen the community's support systems. By placing a coordinator within its walls, the library could go well beyond the scope of a traditional services and establish a high-level of trust with residents. Now serving as the city's cultural center, the library uniquely employs a fine arts librarian to manage free concerts, art exhibits, and collaboration with partners to enhance the city's art offerings. The library also serves as a center for civic dialogue, using resources and partnerships to foster discussions on such difficult subjects as politics, bullying, and race.
