History
We believe in the importance of coming together to make a better place for our children to live - after all, it really does take a village to raise a child.
In 2007 Partnership for Strong Families (PSF), Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) and Casey Family Programs teamed up to develop a concept to reduce the number of children entering the foster care system by targeting vulnerable communities.
“Hotspots” were identified by zip code and a list of potential social service providers was developed. In June 2008 we met with community partners, including the Alachua County Library District (ACLD), to identify a place to open the resource center. Since the library was also looking to open a branch in Northeast Gainesville, a collaboration was born between the two.
In July 2009 the Library Partnership opened its doors to the community
