Civic Literacy Starts at Home

Register for this Niche Academy webinar!

John Chrastka shares strategies for building civic literacy in libraries, engaging in civic discussions, and strengthening their role as active contributors to civic life.
 

Libraries around the country host a lot of programs about civic education and civic engagement for their communities. However, we may not be focused on our own staff, boards, and leadership team’s civic literacy and skills. Your role as a community anchor institution means you need to be involved in the discussion and not just host. 

In this webinar, EveryLibrary’s executive director, John Chrastka, will share insights into how effective libraries can understand and operationalize their own role in the "civic conversation".

Participants will learn strategies to build civic literacy within their organizations, develop actionable plans for engaging in civic discussions, and strengthen their role as active contributors to civic life. From budgeting and taxes to legislation and public policy, the library itself should be an active participant in shaping civic life.
