The new NC School Library Media Coordinator's Evaluation Instrument is full of standards that address the need for external partnerships, partnering with other libraries and community organizations. I've always known this was important, but I've always struggled with how to make this an authentic partnership (more than just calling them to let them know a class is researching a topic and to let them know families might come in looking for books on a specific topic). It always seemed like there was more we could do to support each other's goals. I've noticed in the morning there are lots of parents dropping off their children, who have younger kids as well. So, we are partnering with Jesse, our Buncombe Co. Library Preschool Outreach Coordinator, to provide a monthly story time for Dickson families who have preschool aged children , toddlers or infants. Today was our first event, with seven adults and ten children attending. Our next event will be held on Friday, December 7th at 8:15 am.
