- discusses the four elements (Resources, Invitations, Partnerships & Engagement, and Staff) and the two lenses (Community-Led and Evaluation) of the Creative Library platform;
- outlines six steps for surveying your community’s artistic landscape;
- gives methods for expanding partnerships and connections with individuals and organizations through exploration, hands-on learning, and engagement with the community;
- shares perspectives on the “ideal library” from several artists, with three examples of artist-in-residence programs;
- offers examples of community invitations in action, such as the Pittsburgh Fiberarts Guild workshops on creating flowers using recycled materials;
- shows how to use “orphan photos” from your archives for creative inspiration;
- advises on using qualitative evaluations to effectively “weed” your initiatives; and
- shares tips for encouraging library staff to express their creativity, turning avocations into library initiatives like Handmade Crafternoons, the Yahara Music Library, or BOOKLESS.
By building on existing elements at your library and filling in the gaps with community-driven additions, your library can be a space that cultivates creativity in both its users and staff.
