Rural Library Network (RLN)

Partners for Rural Impact connects public, school, and community college libraries across rural America to advance cradle-to-career outcomes for young people. Through webinars, an annual eSummit, and a growing national community of practice, members gain access to evidence-backed resources, peer learning, and the connections they need to strengthen their communities. Membership is free and open to anyone working in or supporting rural libraries.

RLN eSummit

Each year, more than 500 rural library leaders and allies come together at the Rural Library Network eSummit to share knowledge and build relationships in rural communities. The virtual convening brings together library practitioners from across the country for sessions focused on advancing cradle-to-career outcomes for rural young people.
