Judy Register/Mary Dolven Joint Use Libraries			August 10, 1.00-3.30
	Shared-use libraries have been a part of library services for many years - some more successfully than others. In the last decade the concept has gained momentum in the wake of budgetary concerns that have public dollars going as far as possible without impacting services. While the concept of shared use libraries has its advantages, it is not suggested that it will work in every instance in every community. Clearly attention to advance analysis and time for input from all stakeholders is the critical foundation to determining if shared use is likely to succeed. This presentation will give an overview of two very different projects - a public library with K-12 school libraries THAT IS CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL and a community college library with a public library THAT IS IN THE PLANNING STAGE. The planning for these libraries and the operational aspects of the open facilitY will be explored.
