Let's Talk Race: Community Healing through Conversation
Tuesday, November 14,11:00 am PT
Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/lets-talk-race.html

Library communities around the country are seeing rising levels of division, distrust, and segregation. Recognizing the need for community healing, library staff at the Richland Library in South Carolina formed the Let's Talk Race team to explore strategies for deepening community connections and engagement. Since 2016, the Let's Talk Race team has facilitated more than 250 in-person or online discussions, community forums, and events, reaching more than 4,000 participants, and creating opportunities for civic engagement, community connections, and courageous conversations. Earlier this year, the Richland Library launched the open-source Let's Talk Race Curriculum, providing a set of easy-to-follow resources for other libraries, museums, and related organizations to implement with their local communities. The curriculum includes facilitation best practices, conversation guides, videos, and more. The curriculum provides a learning pathway to help get started, build facilitation skills, and create conversation guides to hold your own circles of dialog.
Living Our Values Out Loud: Programs that Walk the Talk
Tuesday, November 28, 2023, 11:00 am PT
Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/living-our-values-out-loud.html

>From zero-waste events to upcycling to refreshments, how we choose to carry out our work in libraries says a lot about our values. We can't just pay lip service to sustainability-we need to practice what we're talking about! This webinar will be an inspiring discussion with a panel of practitioners who have found ways to design, implement, and evaluate library programs using frameworks that better represent their libraries' values, such as the triple bottom line definition of sustainability and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
