Reach out to Free Library to ask about adding Phlask icon bookmark

[annetpark1]

Goal: add PHLASK icon to desktop (as an icon, menu option, etc.) so that library patrons have quick access to app

Needs:

• Library contact: identify a branch contact who can facilitate a ~30min conversation
• Pitch deck: use existing Welcome to PHLASK presentation (or adapted) version to present project and utility
• 1-page memo: a simple memo document on PHLASK letterhead summarizing the ask

Question: Who can I get in touch with to discuss a nonprofit free resource sharing collaboration with the library?

Hello!
I'm a volunteer contributing to a project called PHLASK, a website that helps people find free essential resources around Philly, like locations for water, food, foraging, and bathrooms (you can check out the site here: https://phlask.me/). I'm reaching out because we were thinking that the PHLASK website might be a useful tool to make available to library patrons, perhaps through a dedicated link/bookmark on the library computers or through flyers or tabling. 

Is there someone I might be able to chat more with about the possibility of this kind of collaboration?
Thank you, Anne

Sent her the following email:

Hello!

I'm a volunteer contributing to a project called PHLASK, a website that helps people find free essential resources around Philly, like locations for water, food, foraging, and bathrooms, through crowdsourced mapping (you can check out the site here! https://phlask.me/). I'm reaching out because we were thinking that the PHLASK website might be a useful tool to make available to library patrons at the Walnut Street West Library, perhaps through a dedicated link/bookmark on the library computers, or through flyers, tabling, or events. We were also very excited to hear about the workshop series on community mapping being held at the library, since that's so aligned with our own mission and interests!

I was wondering if it might be possible to chat more about potential ways to collaborate or conduct outreach with the library?

Thank you,
Anne
