As a supplement to the Library Summit on Social Cohesion, the Massachusetts Library System published a guide that may interest you.
The Together We Thrive: Libraries as Catalysts for Social Cohesion Guide includes:
- Slides from the presentations
- Recording of the post-summit webinar
- Resources to learn more about libraries and social cohesion
- Four videos featuring libraries who excel at fostering social cohesion in their communities
Special thanks to the Beverly Public Library, Chicopee Public Library, Morse Institute Library, and Wayland Free Public Library for their featured videos!
This guide was created as a supplement to the Library Summit on Social Cohesion hosted by the Massachusetts Library System (MLS) in collaboration with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) and Simmons University School of Library and Information Science.
