New Community Partnerships Seek to Promote Older
Adult Programming & Awareness through Library
Over the summer, the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bi-
centennial Library has worked hard to improve partner-
ships with other community agencies and organizations in
an effort to coordinate outreach efforts and promote
awareness. As a result you will notice that the library will
begin to promote partners programming on its regular
monthly calendar of events. Library branch facilities are
available to host community events and programming. If
