This new report shows how public libraries can help local governments tackle critical community priorities such as economic development, public safety, environmental sustainability, cultural diversity, education, and literacy. The report and accompanying case studies provide examples and instructive guides on how public libraries in jurisdictions large and small are partnering with local governments and organizations to develop innovative solutions for important strategic community initiatives. Entitled “Maximize the Potential of Your Public Library” the report is available as a free download from the ICMA, the International City / County Management Association.
