Library Outreach

Bringing Library Services to Your Organization or Event

Our outreach team specializes in developing and delivering impactful library programs and services where they’re needed most. From interactive storytimes and STEAM labs to digital literacy workshops and resume assistance. We create opportunities that connect people to learning, resources, and each other—all beyond the library’s walls.

What We Bring to the Table

General Outreach Services

  • Library 101: Discover everything your library offers in this fun and engaging overview. Perfect for sparking curiosity and showcasing resources.
  • Pop-Up info Table: We’ll set up shop at your event to share all the latest library news, answer questions, and connect with attendees.
  • Library Card Sign-Up: Help your guests become part of the library family! Ideal for smaller events with fewer than 50 attendees, we’ll make signing up simple and welcoming.
  • Book Bike: A library on wheels! Our Book Bike brings books, resources, and smiles directly to your event—cruising around to spark joy and curiosity.

For Younger Audiences

  • STEAM Lab: Science, technology, engineering, art, and match come to life with hands-on activities for ages 5-18.
  • Storytime: Stories, songs, and silliness for kids ages 3-8. Perfect for sparking imaginations and a love of reading.
  • School Visits: We bring the library straight to the classroom with customized programs.

For Adults Who Never Stop Learning

  • Digital Literacy Classes: From tech tips to troubleshooting, we’ve got you covered.
  • Resumes & Resources: Support for job seekers, career explorers, and lifelong learners.
  • Crafting Connections: Creative workshops where fun and friendship take center stage.

Are We a Good Fit for Your Organization or Event?

We’d love to partner with you! Here’s how we make sure our outreach is the right match:

Equity & Access: We focus our outreach on connecting with underserved communities and breaking down barriers to access. Because everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and discover.

Mission Driven: Every event we participate in supports the Library’s mission.

Open to All: We prioritize events that are free and open to the public, ensuring everyone can take part in meaningful experiences.
