Follow the Trail: Co-Design Your Way to Community-Led Change

Are you interested in creating with, not for, your community? Are you ready to share power with those who are marginalized? If so, you will want to attend this introduction to a new resource - the Co-Design Trail Guide. 

You may have heard about co-design recently, but still wonder what it is and whether it makes sense for your library. Over the past year expert Audrey Barbakoff has led in-person workshops and virtual conversations to help develop a guide to assist library workers with a path to social justice and equity through co-design. Now the Co-Design Trail Guide is ready for action!
