Is your library looking for new ways to connect with your community through social outreach? Are you wanting to learn from the programs and experiences of other libraries?

Join Jessica Bamford-Love and Laura Pagel, the authors of the program, for this 30-minute, free webinar where we’ll cover how the “Cultural Literacy” programming series started, how staff rallied community support, and how a program like this could benefit your library.

Since 2017, this remarkably successful program has covered many topics. The Cultural Diversity program invites speakers from diverse backgrounds and experiences to come and speak on specialized topics. They’ve held sessions exploring LGBTQ+ issues, local racial diversity, coping with grief, disability awareness, mental health awareness, overcoming racial bias, ‘Dreamers’ and DACA, immigration, religious diversity and many more.

They’ve succeeded in creating educational opportunities for their patrons on topics of social awareness and you can too. Tune into this webinar as the originators discuss the genesis of this incredible program, the impact it has had on their patrons, and explore how you could implement this idea into your community too!

St. Pete Beach - A Power of Libraries Story
2019-09-17 13:00 - 13:30
Is your library looking for new ways to serve the needs of your community? Are you wanting to learn from the ideas of other libraries?

As one of our Power of Libraries Award winners for this year, the St. Pete Beach public library was recognized for their help in creating a program focused on digitizing local history in their community.

St. Pete Beach, Florida is home to the Gulf Beaches Historical Museum. This Museum has historical artifacts that date back to before St. Pete Beach was an established city. The museum is located near the Gulf of Mexico which leaves the materials vulnerable to the threat of hurricanes and other natural consequences. Then in 2017, Hurricane Irma damaged artifacts at the Gulf Beaches Historical Museum. Seeing a need in their community, the St. Pete Beach Public Library and University of South Florida (USF) Honors College partnered together to help digitize and preserve the museum’s collection.

Come listen and learn from Betcinda Kettells, a librarian for the St. Pete Beach Public Library and Catherine Wilkins, Professor for the Honors College at USF as they share their story of how they worked together and created a course titled “How to Make History” which allowed students to be active participants in the digitizing process.

Register today to come, listen, and learn how your library can create meaningful partnerships that can bring your community together.

The Fulton County Library System - A Power of Libraries Story
2019-08-14 11:00 - 11:30
Is your library looking for new ways to serve the needs of your community? Are you wanting to learn from the ideas of other libraries?

The Fulton County Library System serves thousands of people in its community each month. In 2018, Fulton County Public Libraries embarked on a sweeping renovation project. This included closing the Central Branch in downtown Atlanta for 2 years. For some using this branch, it is their only connection to their services and materials, including their only connection to the internet.

Outreach Librarian, Amanda Densmore, decided it would be a good idea to partner with Atlanta City Parks, and bring the internet and its resources to the members of the community despite the library building being closed. The Parks administration was already planning on bringing Wi-Fi into Woodruff Park, so the library provided laptops, and the “Library on the Lawn” program began.

Join us to learn more about how Densmore got her inspiration for this program, how it started, and how your library could adopt the idea to help impact your community. Register now!
