School/Public Library Cooperative Activities

The ALSC/AASL/YALSA Joint Task Force on School/Public Library Cooperative Activities looks at local and national models of school/public library cooperative activities. The group met for the first time at the January 2004 Midwinter Meeting. The group is charged with creating an action plan to develop a product (program, Web site, toolkit) to function as a clearinghouse for ideas about activities, programs, and services to promote best practices in school/public library cooperation.
