New course: A Community-Centered Approach to Digital Collections<http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dceb06184d0bc4f70158da6037a3f636ecd69c3236a613a9496578d1cc4c1012974eae583d93998accad2e15c5e2700c5e0d85141d9abf4b>
As you develop digital collections that share and preserve local history, culture, stories, and artifacts, it’s important to pause and take stock of narratives that might have been left out of the popular stories in your community. To best represent the many community voices and narratives in your digital collections, you’ll need to build and sustain respectful relationships that focus on mutual support and trust. This course describes approaches that have proven successful for other libraries, archives, and museums, and illuminates a path forward to build collections that center the voices of many different communities.

Whether you’re brand-new to digital collections or ready to further your learning, this course can support your efforts to collaborate with your community as you build your collections.

Co-Creating Library Services for Transformative Impact<http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dceb06184d0bc4f7bedd468181175e338cb6c21fd4a223dda3e42497fe63b9dd7690084af9a15ccbca23dea2fdb3837cfe4936fd5f273fa5>
The most relevant and dynamic ideas can grow from collaborating with impacted communities. Co-creation is one of the most effective ways for libraries to turn diversity, equity, and inclusion ideals into real-world services. In this webinar recording, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of co-design and explore how to apply them in your library for wildly creative and deeply impactful programs and services.

Leadership Strategies for Building Connection and Defusing Difficult Situations<http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dceb06184d0bc4f750b99df7f82596a26f84a27c85ae26aff98c88955bd7a9c54360054c2a628c8cd73cb63b2e0c69a4febf9ef0c7659906>
As library staff, our collective morale and goodwill are often eroded by a tidal wave of factors including book challenges, budget constraints, staffing shortages, toxic online discourse, and an increasingly divided culture. In times like these, searching for common ground might sound naïve or idealistic, but intentionally cultivating these mindsets can have a profound effect on your personal and organizational well-being. This webinar recording introduces skills and practical strategies for developing empathetic, curiosity-led leadership to help improve communication, connection and cooperation at your library.

Work It Out @ Your Library with the Wombats!
3:00–4:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time

This webinar will introduce you to Work It Out @ Your Library! a new program for families in your community, built around Work it Out Wombats!‚ a national PBS KIDS television series for 4- to 6-year-olds. Through hands-on activities, library storytime sessions, animated videos, and a family app, this flexible program helps library staff guide families through the exploration of computational thinking. Computational thinking is a creative way of solving problems in more organized ways. When children make believe they’re running a restaurant, they explore sequencing by figuring out the steps for serving a customer a meal. When they play with blocks to make a castle, they can practice the design process by creating, testing, and improving the structure. Library staff are uniquely suited to promote this learning with their library families. The webinar will cover why computational thinking skills are important for young children, how the free resources have been used to run fun and engaging programs in libraries, and how you can‚ too.

Presented by: Mary Haggerty, Director of Media Engagement, GBH; and Nicki Sirianni, Outreach and Marketing Manager, GBH
