Mission: Cincinnati Museum Center inspires people of all ages to learn more about the world through science; regional history; and educational, engaging and meaningful experiences.

Both the Museum and Library emphasize education and learning more about the world.

Library Services to the Museum:

Provide the museum access to The Preservation Lab, a collaborative effort between CHPL and the University of Cincinnati Library that works to provide preservation services. This could help the museum in preserving, digitizing, or repairing documents or exhibits.

Collaborate with the museum using the Rare Print and Digital Collections at the library. There are over 1 million images archived from the Cincinnati Enquirer within this collection, river history for the past 200 years, and the Cincinnati Opera Archives. These collections could add to existing exhibits in the museum, or create new exhibits.

Museum Support to the Library:

There is much local history in the museum that could benefit the library's genealogy and local history digital exhibit.

The museum could help with maintaining this large collection at the library as well.

Cross promotion of events or special exhibits for both organizations would be mutually beneficial also.

Mission: Helping our community today for a better tomorrow.

Both the library and HCJFS emphasize the importance of helping the community.

Library Services to HCJFS

The library already offers vast support to those looking for employment, and this partnership could provide valuable resources to HCJFS. The library offers many job help workshops, like "Resume Building" and "Job Help" that callers inquiring to HCJFS could be referred to.

The library could also post local jobs based on openings from HCJFS and provide support to patrons when applying for these specific roles.

HCJFS Services to the Library:

HCJFS could provide the library with lists of job openings in the branch area.

HCJFS may also be able to partner with the library to provide more career coaching programs at the library.

Mission: We are proud to work in tandem with our community to champion the development of literacy through tutoring, little free libraries, literacy outreach and guaranteeing book access for all of our neighbors.

Both the library and the Queen City Book Bank look to bring literacy resources and books to individuals in the community.

Library Services to the Museum:

The Queen City Book Bank is always looking to expand their collection of books. When the Cincinnati Public Library practices collection management and has books to purge, many could be donated to the Queen City Book Bank.

The Library could also post flyers inside branches informing patrons their old books could be donated to Queen City Book Bank to go to someone just learning how wonderful a book can be. Flyers could also encourage patrons of the library to volunteer for Queen City Book Bank's Adult Literacy Tutoring program.

Queen City Book Bank Services to the Library:

The Queen City Book Bank could potentially expand to CHPL's current adult literacy education offerings. They could use the library as a place to host adult literacy tutoring programs, and could maybe even find volunteers for the program through patrons at the library.

Mission: Hamilton County Office of Small Business is the front door for small businesses to access and receive assistance to start and grow their company.

Both CHPL and Hamilton County Office of Small Business strive to enhance the knowledge of community members.

Library Services to Hamilton County Office of Small Business:

The Library could provide access to its virtual learning programs to Hamilton County Office of Small Business in order to pass along to those looking to start a small business or grow their already running small business.

The Library could promote the services of Hamilton County Office of Small Business by hanging flyers at each branch with upcoming events hosted by Hamilton County Office of Small Business.

Hamilton County Office of Small Business Services to the Library:

As providing business coaching is one of the main aspects of the Hamilton County Office of Small Business, collaborating with the Library to create an in-library business workshop could be beneficial for both organizations and members of the community.

Mission: At Board & Brush Creative Studio, our goal is to turn you into a “DIY master” by educating you to understand and appreciate the beauty of raw materials—the wood, the knots, the color variations and the simple imperfections that will make your project unique. Distressing, sanding with the grain, and staining are a few of the important steps we will guide you through to make your personalized wood sign look as though it has been with you for years—like a vintage heirloom. Hone your own passion for décor & DIY projects; we hand you the tools & direction, you create the friendships and craft.

The Library and Board and Brush both seek to educate members of the community.

Library Services to Board and Brush:

As CHPL has a vast amount of offerings for different DIY projects, a woodworking workshop could prove to be a great addition. By hosting small pop ups at different library branches, the library would promote patrons to visit Board and Brush for their next outing. The library could also put classes hosted by Board and Brush on a flyer or calendar.

The library could also provide books related to woodworking during workshops hosted at library branches. These books could possibly go out on loan to Board and Brush to use in their workshops as well.

Board and Brush Services to the Library:

Using physical library materials to educate folks participating in Board and Brush workshops could be educational and allow the library to reach a larger audience.
