What is the Outreach Services Round Table (OSRT)

• In order to meet the changing needs of the community, it is becoming increasingly important to reach beyond the walls of the library and make services more accessible to the public.  OSRT is an organization within the Wisconsin Library Association, Inc. (WLA) which promotes the exchange of ideas connected with providing library services beyond the library building.
