Making Connections Between School and
Public Libraries
By Tasha Squires
Foreword by Gail Bush
“As funding is cut at many schools and
public libraries, partnerships become even more important. This
practical guide offers many time-saving paths to successful
cooperation.”

co-author, A Year of
Programs for Teens
Connecting to share ideas, resources, and programs offers school and
public libraries an exciting means of achieving their own goals as well
as those of the community at large. In this timely guide, young adult
library consultant Tasha Squires delves into the many possible avenues
for partnership, from summer reading programs to book talks to resource
sharing and more.
Squires’s advice is designed to help librarians appreciate,
communicate, and build on the benefits of school/public library
relationships in order to make the most of tight budgets, create
resource rich environments, and promote the development of lifelong
learners. Her book is a must-read for school and public librarians who
want to successfully connect and collaborate with other youth-focused
professionals.
“The most comprehensive and
practical source available on partnerships between public and school
libraries.”
