[BCMA] Looking for information about museums sharing space with libraries

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello everyone,

Tipple Park Museum in Evansburg, AB is searching for information and
experiences from museums that share space with libraries or have other
similar arrangements with another organization.

Tipple Park Museum currently consists of a main museum building and several
on-site heritage buildings. The main building was constructed in 2015 for
use by the museum and is owned by our local municipality. Earlier this
spring, our municipality informed us that they are planning to relocate
the public library into the museum building as well. As we try to navigate
this situation, it would be incredibly helpful to hear the experiences of
other museums that also share space.

Information we would be interested in includes:
-How the arrangement works
-How space is shared
-How responsibilities are shared
-How governing organizations work together
-Was the arrangement planned from the beginning or did it come about later,
and what did that look like?
-Benefits? Unexpected challenges?
-Things you would do differently if you were to start over

Please contact me by email at tippleparkmuseum at gmail.com. I am more than
happy to answer any questions or clarify anything. Any information is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phoebe Amendt
