<p class="MsoNormal">The core mission of libraries is to serve their communities, especially their information needs. What are best practices for reaching out to your community and understanding what their needs are? What does community engagement mean for
library staff? How can engaging your community help with issues from book challenges to patrons needing social services? LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected titles on libraries and community
service purchased recently. You can search MeLCat for LM titles and you can also check our New Library Science Collection titles at
<a href="https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/libsci">https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/libsci</a>. Click on the ANSWER catalog link and use “Library Science Collection” as one of the search terms in the Advanced Search –
Notes field and you will pull only the library science collection titles. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<b>REMINDER: Titles are available through interlibrary loan only right now</b>, as our MeLCat delivery is temporarily offline while we prepare to move to a new catalog. You can find the information on interlibrary loan borrowing from the Library of Michigan
here - <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/about/libuseguidelines/guideforlibraries/interlibrary-loan-guidelines">
https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/about/libuseguidelines/guideforlibraries/interlibrary-loan-guidelines</a>. The page references state employees, but libraries may also borrow from the collection through interlibrary loan. Please feel free to contact
me if you have any issues getting a title.<o:p></o:p></p>
