<p>Here is a wonderful example of a partnership that truly benefits the community—in particular, the community&#8217;s children.</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="DPL hungry kids" href="http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/article/detroit-public-library-provides-food-fight-child-hunger" target="_blank">Detroit Public Library Provides Food to Fight Child Hunger </a></li>
<li><a title="DPL forgotten harvest" href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/detroit-public-library-forgotten-harvest-and-the-chrysler-foundation-partner-to-feed-hungry-young-minds-222376851.html" target="_blank">Detroit Public Library, Forgotten Harvest, and the Chrysler Foundation Partner to Feed Young Hungry Minds</a></li>
</ul>
<p><em>“Our kids come to our library branches starving. They can’t concentrate.”  </em>This partnership helps address that need.  Well done, Detroit!</p>
