The one suggestion I was keen on was "One Community One Story" project.. getting the City and other entities behind reading the same book and scheduling events and panels around the subject matter of the book..

Handbook is a bit of a misnomer - the selections were more summaries of outreach work than guides. Covers a pretty good breadth of program types and targeted groups.

Lots of great program ideas and examples of community partnerships! I loved the "lessons learned" sections.

Really, I just skimmed this one, trying to find relevant passages for a paper I'm writing. However, this book has some fantastic suggestions for a library that wants to take the next step when it comes to outreach. School and community visits are great, but this book gives examples and suggestions for how to go beyond the visits and make the library part of the community.

This books contains several short article summaries of outreach programs of various types--outreach to teenagers, elderly, ESOL learners, prisoners, unemployed persons, children etc. Many articles talk about partnerships with community organizations. While the articles vary in quality I found it a good book to look through for ideas for outreach programs/events/services. Articles include examples from both public and academic libraries. This book has expanded my ideas about how libraries can be of service in our communities.
