Hello Colleagues,
Many think of publishing in one way--the production and sale of a book.
Librarians know this is only one of many ways people access
information--the library world is expanding to reach and support users in
creative ways. We believe producing and publishing of content--ebooks,
zines, podcasts and more--enriches a library’s community by engaging our
society’s desire to share knowledge. The Library Publishing Toolkit has
two major goals:
*We want to hear stories* of the innovative ways libraries are creating and
distributing materials as a part of their public services, or how they are
helping patrons with these tasks.
*We want to provide resources* to libraries looking to augment their
services with creative and engaging publishing projects and services.
Interested?

Please take a moment to fill out our survey*:
www.publishingtoolkit.org/about-you/libraries<http://www.publishingtoolkit.org/about-you/libraries>
Brainstorm what you or others in your library do that involves or supports
creation.
*Tell us the whole story! *
Write a brief article/chapter about your library experiences with content
creation and creator services. Visit our webpage for more details:
