Working Together is an innovative project attempting to overcome social barriers for marginalized people in Canada’s libraries. Right now, Working Together exists as a pilot project in four Canadian cities - Vancouver, Regina, Toronto and Halifax as well as a CLA interest group “Libraries in Communities”. The new Working Together web site has lots of information, an overview of best practices in this area as well as a discussion board.
Here’s the official announcement:
Hello all,
We are pleased to announce that the Working Together National
Demonstration Project website is now live at
http://www.librariesincommunities.ca/
We will be adding content as we create it and look forward to
participating in discussions about community development in a library
context.
Thanks,
Sandra Singh
