Museums and Libraries: Community Partnerships

Thursday July 23, noon-1:00 Mid-Manhattan Library, 455 Fifth Avenue [at 40th Street], NYC

How can they work together to build stronger programs and reach a greater number of community members? What are some examples of successful partnerships?

Come to this free brown bag lunch to explore this issue and share your ideas and successful partnerships.
