SRLC Presents: Swipe Right: How to Partner Up - Cindy Fesemyer

Are you ready to look for partners within the community you serve but don't know how to get started? Or maybe it's time to expand your partner repertoire? In this interactive session you'll learn to map the people and organizations in your community and walk away with a plan to make a new partnership connection.

Instructor: Cindy Fesemyer is the Adult and Community Services Consultant for the State Library of Wisconsin. Previous to that she served for seven years as the Director of the Columbus Public Library in Columbus, Wisconsin where she and her team earned a runner up honor as Library Journal's 2017 Best Small Library in America. Cindy serves as a Library Trustee for the Madison Public Library and is a member-at-large on the Board of the Public Library Association. In her capacity as an engaged rural librarian, she sat on advisory councils for the ALA Libraries Transforming Communities: Models for Change program and the Philadelphia Free Library's IMLS Award for Community-Centered Librarianship. Librarianship is Cindy's second career, following 14 years in nonprofit administration, fundraising, and community organizing. On a personal level, Cindy is sustained by her radio-host husband and their twin, teenage, soccer-fanatic daughters.
