Collaborating for Community Success: Library & Municipality Relationships

Municipalities are complex ecosystems, bringing together the work of multiple departments—including the public library. In some communities, these relationships operate seamlessly. In others, they can be challenged by misunderstandings, competing priorities, or questions around roles, responsibilities, and legal requirements.  This webinar series seeks to promote open dialogue, understanding, and relationship building between the two entities.  
These webinars are free for viewing, click on the corresponding links below to watch the recordings.

• Part One of this webinar series explores the dynamics between public libraries and local governments, offering participants a thoughtful look at both the challenges and opportunities within these partnerships. This includes two sessions:
  June 11 – Building & Leveraging your Municipal Relationships (Primary Audience: Libraries)
  June 18 – Building & Leveraging your Library Relationships (Primary Audience: Municipalities)
  

• Part Two of this webinar series takes a deep dive into understanding Chapter 43 of the Wisconsin Statutes that outlines statutory authority granted to library boards and how it both differs and relates to municipal operations. Participants will come away with a better grasp of library authority and how it intersects with the municipal governing authority.
