Public and school libraries (and librarians as intermediaries) are the key 
institutions that can provide collections and services to meet the needs of 
youth. Cooperative relationships improve library services and ultimately 
provide youth better access to information, knowledge, and learning. A close 
alliance of school library media centers and public libraries can be an 
effective support system for students. Currently such alliances take many 
forms, including joint libraries (combined school and public library 
facilities), networking and resource-sharing arrangements (use of technology), 
collaborative and cooperative services and programs, and communication networks.
Ann Symons was president of the American Library Association 1998/99. She has 
had a long association with ALA including as chair of its Intellectual Freedom 
Committee.
