I would like to see the library collaboration also have a focus on
locality and local archival resources, which are often held by the
library. Without being too venal about it, I think the local angle
creates a sense of "belonging" and also illustrates the unique materials
held by the library.
Another angle would be to find out what special collections the local
library has, and emphasize those.
