More than Access: Limitless Libraries, a School District and Public Library Partnership That Shines
Lindsey Kimery; Jenny Winston
Knowledge Quest, v52 n4 p34-40 2024
This article describes the partnership between Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) and the Nashville Public Library (NPL) called Limitless Libraries. Through this resource-sharing partnership, learners can access the NPL collection, connecting them to books and other materials outside the walls of their schools. This breaks down barriers to access by allowing learners to have even more print and digital items at their fingertips, right when they need them, and supports efforts to promote lifelong reading and learning. Limitless Libraries has the impact of boosting engagement and is shown to be a model for how school and public libraries can work together for the benefit of learners, staff, and patrons.
