Library visits to schools, community groups, and other organizations are one way to promote the City Library to the community. They are a useful component of the Library's outreach efforts and can be tailored to serve specific needs of users.
REF3.1 Community Visits
Library staff may initiate visits to schools, clubs, community groups, and nursing homes to promote specific library programs and services. Visits are generally limited to the Salt Lake City service area. Library staff may also make visits by invitation. Requests for a visit from a librarian may be handled within the agency with the approval of the agency manager. Such visits are voluntary, and the agency may refuse any request that is beyond the scope of the agency’s resources or the City Library’s mission.
Visits that require staff to represent the City Library at a booth or table such as fairs, expositions, and community events should be handled through Communications.
REF3.2 Library staff should estimate the number of people visited and report the number to Communications using a Programming Report form.
