"We try to partner with local businesses and organizations whenever we can for programs and events. People are instantly more excited about a program when they see it is presented by someone local. I think it helps people feel more connected to the community," said Liz Poppenhouse, Adult Services Librarian.

Adult Services Manager Kate Buckardt agrees. "Please reach out to us if you have a great idea. We are always looking for new program ideas to collaborate on with local partners."
