How can public libraries partner with Tinder Foundation?

• Use existing resources: Become a UK online centre, explore Learn My Way, etc

• Work with partners: local partner to come into the Library to support users, or go out to partners to deliver

• Design around local needs: Hooks, audience groups. Health has broad appeal (Learn My Way)

• Talk to each other: Use the Ning to talk across sectors and memberships
