The library system's Jessica Zaker says the aerobics night, anti-bullying presentation, and same-sex speed dating event are all geared to raising the comfort level of an underserved community.  

ZAKER: "Our second objective was to form partnerships with community groups to assure the groups have a say in their library and feel they are valued in the community and that we are interested in  serving their needs as well.  "

The county is paying for this week's media campaign with funds awarded by the American Library Association.  This week is National Library Week and the ALA decided the county's program was the best way to honor the theme of the week, which is, "You Belong @ Your Library."
