Want to have fun while supporting your community? It’s easy when you take part in The Great Give Back, a community service initiative developed by the Suffolk Cooperative Library System in 2017 to connect library patrons to meaningful volunteer experiences.

This year, The Great Give Back will be bigger than ever before. As the country commemorates America250, the America Gives initiative encourages volunteerism and calls on citizens to step up and help. In New York, The Great Give Back is partnering with the New York State Library to be a part of America Gives. All participants and programs will be tracked on The Great Give Back website, and the final numbers will be sent to America Gives, showing the power of public libraries to create resilient communities.

Join this webinar to find out how to get involved, some examples of what libraries have done in the past, best practices for partnerships, the power of working with your community to accomplish a shared goal and more!

This public program is offered by the New York State Library and made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which enable the New York State Library to champion lifelong learning.
