OUR FAVORITE 2022

Community Collections

With 2022 almost behind us, the BiblioBoard team would like to take a moment to highlight some of our favorite community collections of the last year. These libraries have used BiblioBoard’s community engagement tools to make it easier than ever to create, share, and discover unique digital content by and for their communities. From elevating local voices, to preserving local history, and so much in between, these collections showcase just a handful of the different ways libraries are partnering with BiblioBoard to engage their communities.

Read on to see how the collections turned out!
