Free United for Libraries webinar on Feb. 19 - "Friends and Trustees Under 40: Recruit Them, Retain Them, Engage Them"
by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Free United for Libraries webinar on Feb. 19 - "Friends and Trustees Under 40: Recruit Them, Retain Them, Engage Them" United for Libraries will host Friends and Trustees Under 40: Recruit Them, Retain Them, Engage Them on Wednesday, February 19 at 2 p.m. eastern. Presenters Madeline Jarvis, Tess Wilson, Lina Bertinelli, and Kathy Kosinski will lead the webinar. http://www.ala.org/united/friends-and-trustees-under-40-recruit-them-retain… Registration is free for Michigan libraries and groups as a United for Libraries Statewide Group Member - register at https://forms.gle/CgMn8zEs3Nb2S7Vf6. Millennials are more likely than other adults to have visited the library recently. However, most friends and trustee boards do not have even a single millennial member (Pew 2016, ALA 2018). What accounts for this discrepancy between the demographics of our library users and library civic leaders, and how do we rectify it? The presenters will argue for the importance of developing generationally representative boards and explore common barriers to service for those under 40. Friends and Trustees Under 40: Recruit Them, Retain Them, Engage Them is an intensive follow-up to the Monthly Member Forum presented by United for Libraries in January, "Recruiting Younger Board Members for Trustees, Friends, and Foundations." This webinar will expand on the information that was overviewed in January's forum. Participants will leave with practical strategies for identifying and recruiting the right millennials to serve and for adapting board cultures to engage and retain them. Madeline Jarvis is the Adult and Information Services Manager at the Marion (IA) Public Library. She and her team cultivate collections, services, and partnerships to serve the Marion community. She is passionate about identifying and eliminating barriers to resources for her patrons and helping the library serve as a catalyst for community development. Tess Wilson is the Community Engagement Coordinator for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine - Middle Atlantic Region. She serves as YALSA Blog Manager and Youth Services Division Chair for the PA Library Association. She was a 2018 ALA Emerging Leader and is an active privacy advocate with the Library Freedom Project. She earned her MFA in Creative Writing from Chatham University and her MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh. Lina Bertinelli is the Workforce Librarian at the Enoch Pratt Free Library and Maryland State Library Resource Center in Baltimore, MD. Kathy Kosinski is the Member Services and Outreach Manager at Califa Group. Previously, she worked at the Library of Michigan as the Statewide Library Services Analyst.

Free Webinar: Civil Legal Justice: The Crucial Role of Libraries
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Civil Legal Justice: The Crucial Role of Libraries<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/civil-legal-justice-the-cruc…> When: February 11 @ 3:00PM Eastern Cost: Free In this webinar, learn about the ways public libraries can address the justice gap, connecting people with information as they navigate the complexities of the legal system. The lofty U.S. ideal of "justice for all" fails the equity test because many people, especially our nation's poorest individuals, fall into the "justice gap"-the divide between the civil legal needs of low-income people and the resources to meet those needs. Many of your community members who instinctively turn to the library for help with crises in their lives might be on the verge of falling into this gap. Though legal issues can be intimidating for library staff, public libraries are well positioned to help reduce the justice gap. Join us to learn about the status of civil legal justice in our system and about the vital role you can play in connecting people with information and supporting them as they navigate the complexities of the legal system. Law librarian Catherine McGuire, who has conducted extensive trainings with public libraries, will share insights into interacting with patrons who approach the library with civil legal needs. With a basic understanding of the civil legal justice landscape, we hope you will be motivated to plunge deeper into helping close the justice gap by taking the live, multi-week online course to be offered in April. Presented by: Catherine McGuire, Head of Reference and Outreach, Thurgood Marshall State Law Library, Maryland; Luis Interiano, Reference Librarian, West Baton Rouge Library, Port Allen, Louisiana; and Betha Gutsche, WebJunction Programs Manager, OCLC Evette M. Atkin Continuing Education Consultant Library of Michigan atkine(a)michigan.gov<mailto:atkine@michigan.gov> These programs are supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
