Target Audience: Librarians who wish to expand the reach of their services outside the boundaries of their library Learning Outcomes: 1. Participants will take away concrete ideas of what types of additional services they can implement to reach out to the community. 2. Participants will learn the pros and cons of a partnership with public libraries.
Law library services are often limited by hours and locations. Public libraries tend to have longer hours, convenient locations and are generally well-known to the community. Panelists will explain how they have been able to reach the public with new services they have created in partnership with public libraries. Such services include: volunteer attorney clinics held in public libraries, a law library branch located within a public library, public legal information sessions held in the public library, and law library collections located within public libraries.
