Today I finished reading Children's Services: Partnerships for Success, an anthology edited by Betsy Diamant-Cohen, who came in September to Kent Island to give us training in her Mother Goose on the Loose program. I found the book to be a really good description of a wide variety of partnerships between libraries and many different types of community organizations, and an excellent tool for brainstorming. I particularly enjoyed reading about the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and their children's area, which they completely redesigned with the help of Lindsey Muir, who at the time was a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
We are adding this book to our professional collection at ESRL, so have a look and check it out! I'm sure you'll come away with many interesting ideas for prospective children's partnerships!
