Typically, the biggest partnership library managers need to address is the one with the Friends of the Library. Beyond that, there is a veritable buffet of opportunities to choose from. How do you figure out which one will be the most fruitful? For example, how can youth services staff benefit from partnerships within the community? Is there more than partnering with the local elementary school? Where can adult services find a useful partnership?
