This edited volume will present chapters written by community college librarians leading outreach programs across the United States. In order to create equity in access, inclusivity, promote social justice, and support the whole student, community college librarians must actively reach out and engage all students. Outreach is that attempt to promote and provide services to students, particularly those who are traditionally underserved. It can also be an opportunity to engage the broader community to support student learning. This book will compile examples of innovative, engaging, and effective outreach programs in community college libraries. Each chapter will provide details on such programs including program purpose or mission, required resources and labor, outcomes, challenges and opportunities, sustainability of programs, and other processes or collaborations needed to make the program successful.
