FREE Webinar: Referring Social Services at the Library

The Community Connector: Referring Social Services at the Library
 
Tuesday, April 21, 2015 ? 2 pm Eastern ? 60 min
 
Every day, patrons enter libraries around the country with questions about health, housing, employment, counseling and other essential human services. And libraries are there to make these crucial connections for them. Many libraries are now exploring ways to expand their role as connector to community social services through resources such as webpages, mobile apps, and databases. These services might refer somebody to a free meal, legal assistance, support groups, and much more. Join us to hear examples of how referral services and resources have augmented the social services connections that contribute to community vitality.
 
This webinar is hosted in collaboration with TechSoup for Libraries.
