Online Library Safety Summit

Learn how public and academic library leaders can help make libraries safer for staff and patrons while protecting their privacy and maintaining open, accessible, and welcoming spaces.

Ensuring equitable and just service in an unprecedented environment of security threats has become one of the greatest challenges library leaders have faced. How can libraries provide physically and emotionally safer and more secure environments for staff and patrons while protecting their privacy and maintaining open, accessible, and welcoming spaces?

This online course will teach you best practices from within and outside the library field to build and maintain a culture of safety. We’ll explore and workshop effective approaches and real-life examples, as well as address legal, technical, policy, staffing, and training.

This course is designed for public and academic library directors, security heads, and administrators who were unable to attend the in-person Summit. It will review the learnings from the April Summit and lay the foundation for our future Summit Reconvening online courses.
