This session presents an innovative outreach model building shared communities through cross-sector partnerships with campus departments, public libraries, and high schools. We create a seamless service continuum, ensuring a student's story is supported from pre-college to graduation. By featuring familiar collections, like Young Adult (YA) works, we build familiarity. The academic library visits for high school students specifically normalize the space. This mutually beneficial approach expands all partners' reach, directly supporting student success initiatives crucial for campus recruitment and retention.
