Every month, MaintainIT hosts an online book club discussion. We select a short chapter from one of the free Cookbooks, invite people to read it, and then meet to discuss. January's Book Club Topic is: Collaborations can enhance the library's ability to serve your community and make library services more visible and valued. Working collaboratively opens up possibilities and enables libraries to share and conserve resources, reach new audiences, and expand services and programs.
