Game-Changing Collaboration: Connect to Thrive
Libraries have a choice, we can collaborate or die. The days of casual cooperation are long gone, as a new era of deep collaboration is unfolding. Deep collaboration requires more courage, more resources, and more commitment to mutual goals.
Learn how collaborative projects are transforming our profession, and discover ways you can make deep collaboration work for your library.
