Evidence Summary Theme: Community Engagement

The evidence summaries in this issue focus on community engagement.They explore research from many different types of libraries that have reached out to their communities and engaged them in developing services, spaces, and collections.These include: an ethnographic study of a school library in France; analysis of the public library services provided for people with dementia in Canada, Korean immigrants in the U.S.A., and tribal women in Bangladesh; a review of the ways in which academic health sciences libraries in North America are engaging with their local Indigenous communities; and a study on the impact of social prescribing by a community library in Japan.We hope you enjoy learning about these projects and that they inspire you to explore new ways to engage with your own communities.
