I live on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont states. I think that there libraries are--

Welcoming

Since the 1st priority is given to the visitors that come in.

They also cover the areas in nonfiction that are related to the geographical rural location, such as outdoor museums, green farming, the local nature.

This is a really tough one. One spot that has collected some strategies for getting board buy-in is the [url /do/DisplayContent?id=13464] Advocacy Brainstorms[/url]. For some good discussion about this check out the topics in the [url /forums/category.jspa?categoryID=12] Funding and Advocacy[/url] area. I've put your question in there as a [url http://webjunction.org/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=6408] new topic[/url] so we should get some good ideas from colleagues out there!

Important!!!

I'm Barbara Oeffner, the Director of the Clewiston Library, in Clewiston, Florida, "America's Sweetest Town!"

We allow the snowbirds to use email to contact the folks back home in the winter, our regular people to get the information they need in a variety of formats, and our kids to have fun and win prizes while learning a love of reading. We host the Chamber of Commerce social every year and celebrate El Dia de los Ninos on April 30th.

The libraries in our South Dakota match the culture and environment in which we are located. Our Dakota Club Library's "single word" would have to be

"reflective"

Our book collections and the decor of our little library reflects the culture we are in and the people we serve. We have strived to serve all/any people living within the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal radius as well as the City boundaries. We try our best to keep up with new trends but we also dearly hold to our past and traditions.

Wow, I thought our library was a small, rural library and there you are serving a population of 600 people. I am Branch Manager at Molokai Public Library and attended the third session of the Rural Library Sustainability Workshop just last week. Our library is the only public library on the island of Molokai in Hawaii and is one of 51 public libraries in the Hawaii State Public Library System. We serve the island population of about 7000 people and a book van services the outlying areas. Hope to learn more about RLS./st

Marathon Public Library is a great little library with wonderful community support. Our library is colorful.Last summer we painted the ends of our shelfs to bring color into the library. Our new computer desk added color as well. Our friends group help with repairs and activities and everyone has a great time together doing it. Marathon is a community of about 600 people and we have half our our school involved in our summer reading program. If ever in Marathon come and visit our little library.
