Have you ever wanted to spend time in another library, just
to check out how their processes differ from our processes, or how they might
approach a project you are interested in pursuing? The Kansas City Local Library Exchange is an opportunity newly at your disposal, allowing you to see
how other libraries in the metro area operate, and meet and network with new
colleagues in the process.
Once on the KCLLE website, you can browse through a list of
participating libraries, seeing which library is best suited to your interests.
(Right now the list of participating libraries is small, but we expect to see
that number grow in the coming weeks and months.) You then fill out the
application form, and wait to hear back from your library of interest. The two
of you then decide on the best date for the visit and what you hope to gain from the visit. Once it is completed, you will submit a report on your visit to
the site, so others can share in what you’ve learned and perhaps be inspired to
make their own visit.
If you have any questions about the process or what to
expect, please contact either Lynn, Rachel G., Ron, Brad, Christina, or me, and
one of us will be thrilled to get you started!
