In our changing times, libraries continue to look for new ways to connect with their communities. Beginning a veteran’s project is a way to do just that. Veterans are a diverse part of the population that encompass all races, genders, and social status so a veteran’s program allows your library to reach a large part of the people in your community. This program will highlight some of the successes the Licking County Library has had with their program, and show some tools, tips, and tricks if your library wants to bring this rewarding project to your community.
