Do you partner with anyone? </li><li>Community gardens - who maintains it (library, municipality, partnership?), where is it located, how do you staff it, etc.?</li><li>Menstrual products - does your library distribute these? If in a dispenser, is it free or small fee? Do you keep them behind the desk? In all restrooms? </li><li>Bonus - does your library offer anything else somewhat non-traditional that you'd like to share about? </li></ul><div>If you could also share your library size and setting (urban, suburban, rural), that would also be interesting! Thanks for your help! Happy to document all answers.
