Public libraries and school libraries have the opportunity to develop
partnership and become much more effective if they were to work
independently. The article Working Together: Simple Ways Public
and School Librarians Can Collaborate provides insight in ways school
and public libraries can work together (Keasler, 2016). Through collaboration
students and parents could be able to transition from school and public
libraries without having to decide which organization to invest their time.
Public Librarians can bring the library to school and encourage students
to visit the library during times that do not conflict with school activities (Keasler, 2016).

Public Librarians can bring the library to school and encourage students
to visit the library during times that do not conflict with school activities (Keasler, 2016).
By cultivating a positive relationship both institutions stand to gain and
provide better resources for their community members (Keasler, 2016).
They also can organize events that do not conflict one another which prevents
community members from choosing one over another. School libraries and public
libraries have the ability to purchase relative resources that effectively target
an audience. In this case, children and teenagers can reap the benefits. In a curricular
focus or during a fleeting fad public libraries have an opportunity to build a positive
relationship with community members and faculty at schools in their zone (Keasler, 2016).
This is known as capitalizing or “striking when the iron’s hot,” a metaphor for
promoting the library during events or a craze to capture an audience's attention
(Keasler, 2016).

The coordination with schools and public libraries illustrates the importance
of teamwork in which other entities can do the same. Collection development
can be inclusive with partnership and collaboration with different organizations
that have similar objectives. In addition, the collaboration also guarantees that
resources within the library will be utilized as they are intended. Moreover,
partnering up can also be cost effective in that school libraries and public libraries
split the cost in necessary supplies (Kealser, 2016). Whether it’s programs or
supplies participation can boost up circulation and program success. Creating a
collaborative community can change the effectiveness of school and public libraries.
