ABSTRACTThis paper explores how libraries operationalize diversity when engaging their communities. Based on an analysis of responses to a survey issued during Phase 2 of the National Impact of Library Public Programs Assessment (NILPPA) project, it argues that programming partnerships can help libraries identify and respond to the most pressing needs of diverse groups within their communities.
