Public libraries must connect to their local communities. Considering modern funding constraints, this can be best done by collaborating and partnering with other local organizations. Partnerships and Collaborations in Public Library Communities: Resources and Solutions shows how these partnerships can be cultivated through projects, programming, funding, and extending the library's presence through unique avenues. With a diverse set of contributions from state, local, educational, penal, and governmental libraries that actively pursue community involvement in a myriad of ways and through varying levels of commitment, the examples presented in this book will give librarians a better understanding of what might be possible for their unique requirements and limitations. This publication focuses on practical applications such as navigating an era of budget cuts and sparse resources to post-project analysis of programs that did not work effectively alongside success stories and ideas for the future.

I''d never seen her in the lunchroom before, or for that matter, anywhere else on campus. I''m sure I would remember if I had. After all, even in Texas, it''s not everyday one sees a college girl wearing black jeans, a starched white western shirt, and snake-skin western boots. The only thing missing from the look was a wide brimmed cowboy hat.She was a few people ahead of me in line, so I hadn''t seen her face yet.

She was drop dead gorgeous. She noticed me staring, but instead of giving me a ''dream on'' sneer, she smiled right at me. I was lost in that smile and the most beautiful blue eyes I''d ever seen, until being snapped back to reality by another server.While getting the rest of my lunch and paying for it, I forced myself not to turn around to see where she was sitting.

Even after her showing me that fleeting but inviting smile, I knew the chances of her giving me so much as the time of day were slim and none, but I couldn''t help myself. I was drawn to her like a moth to a porch light, completely willing to accept her inevitable rejection and sulk away to eat alone in the corner...
