Announcing: Tailored Skills

We are excited to announce the launch of a new service called Tailored Skills!

Tailored Skills connects customers with customized lists of library and vetted community resources to support the development of a skillset or a new skill. For example, if a customer wants to learn how to bird watch, they can fill out a form online, and within 7 days, one of our staff volunteers will email them a list that may include library materials, reputable YouTube videos, and information about local bird watching groups. Our team of volunteers has already created 76& Tailored Skills lists that will live on the library website. These lists are easily printable and can be distributed at local branches. Here are some ways you may be able to use the existing lists:

• as part of a display 
• during a program 
• during outreach events
• during reference interactions 

Visit metrolibrary.org/tailoredskills to start browsing! We will be promoting this service on our social media. Please see the attached halfsheets and poster to print out for your location. 

Thank you to our 35 volunteers for generating our first wave of Tailored Skills lists, MAC for the logo, and PSLT and EPS for their support of this project,
