ABOS [Association of Bookmobile & Outreach Services; abos-outreach.com)] hosts this group [a.k.a. "listserv".]

We Speak Outreach! To join, please email webmaster@abos-outreach.com

New to Outreach? Questions are welcomed. Answers and ideas shared. An Experienced Veteran? Share your knowledge! Mentors wanted.

--> You may be doing outreach services by yourself, but you are not alone... somewhere, someone has had a similar challenge and will share strategies to help or point you in the direction to get more info. <--

We care deeply about providing quality bookmobile and outreach services to meet diverse community and programming needs. We realize that our outreach colleagues are a valuable resource for ideas, information, support, inspiration and connections. Our purpose is to promote discussion among public library staff (and other interested parties) who provide outreach and/or bookmobile services. *** All content is public. All content is searchable. ***
