Building Community: Strategies for Coming Together

Register for this Niche Academy webinar!

For some time now, many communities have been grappling with political division and conflict. How can the library be a more positive and unifying influence?

Part of the solution is "turning outward"- the shift in librarianship that sees our services as part of a web of social assets to provide coordinated responses to pressing community needs. But to make this real we need to build narratives founded on human story, on evidence, and a deliberate frame of both individual and social value.

Join Jamie LaRue to learn strategies for coming together with community.  By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Articulate library services in a "community building" framework.
• Describe a low-cost process for gathering community wisdom.
• Build protocols that help frame public meetings and services around a larger framework of shared values.
• Demonstrate civic courage and institutional purpose.
