Libraries build community, but today's community is a global one.  Many of today's library users have immigrated from other countries.  Many routinely travel for pleasure and conduct business abroad.  Becoming a Sister Library is an opportunity to build relationships with libraries in other cultures that can help us learn, understand and better serve our own community.
