<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:JA">Many libraries are increasingly focused on planning library services collaboratively with their communities. Connected Learning, Participatory Design, and Community Led-Libraries
are becoming standard practice, but to successfully embark on that work, the first (and ongoing!) thing library staff need to do is build robust and meaningful connections within their communities. In this session, we will explore strategies for finding community
partners and building relationships with them with the goal of truly working in collaboration with people they serve. We will discuss strategies for small rural libraries up through large urban systems. You will hear from library staff who have successfully
started doing this work in their own communities with partners who serve all ages. You will also learn about the importance of this work and why it needs to be supported by administrators and supervisors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Carolina formed the Let$B!G(Bs Talk Race team to explore strategies for deepening community connections and engagement. Since 2016, the Let$B!G(Bs Talk Race team has facilitated more than 250 in-person or online discussions, community forums, and events, reaching more
than 4,000 participants, and creating opportunities for civic engagement, community connections, and courageous conversations. Earlier this year, the Richland Library launched the open-source

a set of easy-to-follow resources for other libraries, museums, and related organizations to implement with their local communities. The curriculum includes facilitation best practices, conversation guides, videos, and more. The curriculum provides a learning
pathway to help get started, build facilitation skills, and create conversation guides to hold your own circles of dialog.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
