How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Equity-Driven Service Designmethodology: equity-focused-accessBy designating special service hours for vulnerable populations during the pandemic, the library reduces exposure risks and promotes equitable access, because tailored operational decisions can address disproportionate impacts on at-risk groups.
- Inclusive Access Modelmethodology: inclusive_public_accessBy offering inclusive access to library resources and programming through modern technologies and services, the library serves people of all ages and backgrounds, because equitable access to knowledge fosters community engagement and lifelong learning.
- Resource-Sharing Network for Expanded Accessmethodology: resource-sharing_networkBy connecting patrons with materials through a network of 65 regional libraries, the library expands access to knowledge beyond local collections, because shared systems increase resource availability and reduce barriers to information.
