A Library Partnership = Neighborhood Resource Center Wednesday, March 4, 2015 8:00:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time - 9:00:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time
Alachua County Library District (ACLD) originally became involved with eGovernment through a collaboration with NEFLIN (Northeast Florida Library Information Network) to administer a two-year LSTA grant. The grant goals were to research, develop and provide eGovernment service at libraries throughout the north-central Florida region. As networking for this project expanded, the concept of a neighborhood resource center combining a library and all its resources with community service providers, both governmental and non-profit, became a reality. The Library Partnership is a collaboration with the Partnership for Strong Families and over 30 other service providers expanding the traditional library role in its community. By sharing space, library staff and social service partners provide coordinated and complementary services to meet a client’s full needs. ACLD has now modeled a second branch, Cone Park, to offer similar services. Both of these branches are in at-risk, low-income areas of the City of Gainesville.
