2024 Iowa Library Association Fall Conference

This session will chronicle a highly successful collaboration between Waverly's public and
school libraries and provide nuanced guidance on how to create a successful public/school
library collaboration by detailing the perspectives of both the public librarians and school
librarian involved.
Attendees of this session will feel equipped to make a strong connection with collaborators in
either a public or school library. Further, attendees will be able to learn from the lived
experiences of the librarians who coordinated this collaboration, including dealing with
administrative hurdles and complicated logistics. Attendees will also learn ways to measure
success in collaboration, including what were unintended positive outcomes of this
collaboration.
