Families are turning to their local library for many
things during these challenging times and librarians
are responding by planning programs and services
tailored to community needs. Librarians will
present models for innovative programs unique to
the communities they serve. From San Francisco’s
project to provide citizenship information on line
and King County Library System’s “Look to Your
Library in Hard Times” project to GED (General
Equivalency Diploma) testing at the Atlanta-Fulton
Public Library System and Sew Divine, a group that
grew into a community centered program at the
Richland county Public Library System.
