Antiracist Collection Development & Programming for Middle School & High School Youth<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=920&reset=1>
Presented by: Adrienne Almeida

Right now, we are a profession called to lead the charge for antiracist work. It's time for listening, reflecting, and thoughtful action. If you are a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color), how are you supporting the antiracist work of your white colleagues without doing all the heavy lifting on your own? If you are white, how are you holding yourself and your colleagues accountable to be transparently antiracist in your collection development and programming? Who are you listening to and learning from to improve your antiracist practice? Let's come together to unpack resources and protocols to refresh our toolboxes and inspire our communities to be agents of positive change.

During this hour, we will consider the following:
*        What books are part of the curriculum at your institution or do you see your patrons bringing in from school?
*        How are you selecting books for read alouds, book talks, library displays, summer reading lists?
*        How old are the reading lists? How often are they revised? What current resources are being referenced to revise the lists?
*        Who are you checking in with to challenge and improve your practice? What Professional Learning Networks have you created time for? How are you sharing the load so as to not feel isolated or crushed?

Attendees will leave with a refreshed toolkit to connect their patrons and colleagues with resources required to be agents of antiracist work in their communities.

This webinar will be of interest to: School Librarians and Public library staff who work with Grade 5-12 youth

The Public Library's Role in Elections: Voter Education in a Post-Truth Era<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=918&reset=1>
Presented by:  Haley Samuelson and Nate Gass<https://infopeople.org/people/haley-samuelson-and-nate-gass>

As the 2020 election quickly approaches it promises to be the most watched election in our lifetime and is only complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This presentation will equip library staff to gather user-friendly information from reliable and nonpartisan sources in order to offer an invaluable, evolving online voting guide tailor-made for their communities.
By exploring resources-everything from a glossary of common terms used during elections to information on changing voting laws and options due to the pandemic-this webinar will illustrate how libraries can gather the most useful information in order to address their community's needs. With a focus on citizenship and voting, attendees will learn to serve their diverse populations in a welcoming and nonpartisan way.

During this one-hour webinar, attendees will:

  *   Identify the information needs of their communities regarding elections and voter mobilization efforts
  *   Identify key stakeholders and audiences to communicate the importance of their voter education efforts
  *   Curate and design helpful resources in order to engage their communities in the voting process
  *   Be knowledgeable of other voter groups and initiatives relevant to public library voter education efforts

This webinar will be of interest to: Library staff at all levels.
