Coordinated Outreach Services Advisory Council (COSAC)

Public Library Systems provide Coordinated Outreach Library Services directly and through their member libraries. Each System has a Coordinated Outreach Services Advisory Council (COSAC) composed of members of the 8 target population groups and agencies who work with these groups, and one director of a member library. The COSAC assists STLS in developing outreach services and programs, awards annual Outreach Mini-Grants to libraries and presents an annual Grass Roots Award for outstanding library service to outreach populations.
