“TLCPL’s mission is to provide information, education, and technology to help the community live, learn and grow.”
Reaching customers outside of the building
Looking for non-traditional outreach customers and opportunities
Connecting with the partners we already have or who share a similar mission
Community engagement

Deposit Collections Good use of multiple copy bestsellers Check items out as opposed to giving
withdrawn copies-you need the circulation! Use the “two card” method to ease
concerns about lost items Identify a point person at a nearby branch
to curate the collection, swap it out, handle concerns
Make sure circulation staff understand
Traditional Service with a Twist
![Page 7: Outstanding and imaginative community engagement OVGSTL May 2015 Marilyn Zielinski, TLCPL, and Wendy Bartlett, CCPL.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e245503460f94b11d2d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: Outstanding and imaginative community engagement OVGSTL May 2015 Marilyn Zielinski, TLCPL, and Wendy Bartlett, CCPL.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e245503460f94b11d2d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Make sure everyone understands how to work with these collections.
Outreach and lost items are a little different than traditional customers.
Fines and fine forgiveness work differently too.
Include circulation staff in this conversation!
We’re on the same page, right?

School Only Access Cards!
TLCPL has cards so teachers can access the library’s databases over and above the school resources available.
No borrowing privileges, gives kids (and teachers) the freedom to use databases and other resources if they have no card or if card is blocked.
Schools can also get an organization card that teachers can use for classroom collections.
Soaring over the digital divide

TLCPL has “library” cards for…….libraries!!!
Public libraries across Ohio can place holds and get materials through the state delivery program.
(And it’s fine free )
A new twist on traditional ILL

They LOVE us for our popular materials!
Operates as a deposit collection; we curate and place for an extended loan.
TLCPL works with Lourdes University and the University of Toledo; CCPL works with both of Cuyahoga Community College’s campuses and Baldwin Wallace.
Colleges and Universities
![Page 13: Outstanding and imaginative community engagement OVGSTL May 2015 Marilyn Zielinski, TLCPL, and Wendy Bartlett, CCPL.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e245503460f94b11d2d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

CCPL checks items out for long term loans on revolving cards, so university or nursing home is treated as a big customer like any other.
TLCPL stickers “provided by TLCPL” and items do not appear in the catalogue.
Questions so far?? Other nitty gritty issues or best practices?
The nitty gritty

Catastrophic budget cuts closed 4 out of their 5 branches.
Bare minimum budgeting to provide service to community.
Outposts have three machines: vending machine, (250-500 books only-no AV), lockers (entire collection) and a book drop.
Personnel to maintain—10 hours a week. Ballpark cost--$67,000 a piece. Map of the city—where were the branches?

Aurora Public Library in Colorado placed a satellite branch inside a local Kmart!
Now open 7 days a week. Formerly home to a credit union, APL did it as
a technology outreach effort. Guests use computers for an hour.
Cardholders can stay all day 600 square feet, one staffer to answer
questions. No items to check out, but customers can
pick up holds there.
