Community Support Services

Life can be hard. Your library can help.

What do we do?

ACLA Community Support Services provides barrier-free, in-person assistance where people need it most, in their own neighborhoods. Through our partnerships, social work students are matched with local libraries to assist with individual and community needs.

How can we help?

Social work students are available to offer one-on-one assistance, community programs, and activities. Students can provide local resource information, support, service referrals, help with job and housing searches, applications, and more.

Who is eligible?

Everyone! Services are free and available to all!
