[Libs-Or] Camonghne Felix and The Mychal Threets Effect

[Every Library]

We're excited about a lot of the sessions <https://www.lafcon.org/sessions>
(lafcon.org/sessions) at the Library Advocacy and Funding Conference, but
we're extra excited about these sessions;
*The Mychal Threets Effect* <https://www.lafcon.org/camonghne_felix>

*Camonghne Felix*
How and why Mychal Threets, the famous TikTok librarian, has amassed such a
following, and what this means for the future of libraries and readers.
The Rise and Rise of Christian Nationalism
<https://www.lafcon.org/michelle_goldberg>

*Michelle Goldberg*
When I wrote about Christian nationalism in 2006, it was still widely
considered a fringe phenomenon. Now it has moved to the very center of our
politics, and is driving the renewed craze for banning books. I'll speak
about the history and spread of the movement, and how its book-banning
crusade has spread from schools to public libraries and even bookstores.

Q&A With Mike Hixenbaugh <https://www.lafcon.org/mike_hixenbaugh>


*Mike Hixenbaugh*in this Q&A with EveryLibrary staff, you'll hear from Mike
Hixenbaugh, author of "They Came for the Schools." He'll discuss the
powerful forces driving the crusade to ban books, rewrite curricula, and
limit rights for minority and LGBTQ students. He'll bring to light
fascinating connections between this political and cultural moment and past
fundamentalist campaigns to censor classroom lessons through the
eye-opening story of Southlake, Texas, a district that seemed to offer
everything parents would want for their children — small classes, dedicated
teachers, financial resources, a track record of academic success, and
school spirit in abundance.
Modern Digital Advocacy Tactics that Cut Through the Noise
<https://www.lafcon.org/steve_anderson>


*Steve Anderson*In this session, digital advocacy expert Steve Anderson
will outline the Full Spectrum of Engagement needed for effective advocacy.
Full Spectrum Engagement is the combination of strategic principles and
digital advocacy tactics that leading progressive advocacy organizations
use to build power and change policy.
Libraries as Place: How Design Excellence Informed by Inclusive Community
Conversations Can Maximize Your ROI. <https://www.lafcon.org/chuck_wray>

*Chuck Wray*
Design excellence simply to create beautiful architecture misses the
potential of maximizing a community's return on its investment in the
library building. Learn how inclusive, curious conversations with those
served by the library can imprint each community's hopes and aspirations
into the building's design to create uniquely inspiring and empowering
places.

Plus, you can access over 100 unique trainings at the virtual Library
Advocacy and Funding Conference
