WebJunction content and upcoming webinars Highlighted Content Hopkinton Public Library unites community in library planning<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/hopkinton-library-unites-commu…>: There are thousands of public libraries in the United States, all different sizes with unique communities. Though larger libraries may often benefit from higher staff counts and bigger budgets, size isn’t everything. This is definitely the case for the 2,000-square-foot Hopkinton Public Library in Iowa. A team of just two enthusiastically support 338 library card holders, across Hopkinton and the county. They offer an impressive, weekly slate of engaging programs. And people love them. In fact, some event attendance numbers have eclipsed the total cardholder count, even when there’s a cost. So, what’s the secret sauce? Including the community from beginning to end. From an annual haunted house to community bake-offs, the library incorporates locals for ideation and program planning, so they feel invested and want to participate. Monthly list of free webinars for library staff<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/free-webinars-for-library-staf…>: As you may be aware, the team at the Maine State Library are now managing the national free calendar for library staff learning.

Creating a person-centered library: supporting patrons while avoiding burnout Wednesday, March 13, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 90 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/creating-person-centered-lib… Are you feeling the strain of serving patrons with complex needs? Is your library seeing increased patron behavioral issues and mental health concerns? This session reviews ideas and approaches for how libraries can support both high-needs patrons and staff. As a result of this webinar, you will be able to: * Articulate the changing needs of library patrons and how these impact staff * Learn strategies for assessing your library’s unique needs * Discuss helpful programs, collaborations, and/or services for high-needs patrons * Apply person-centered strategies to begin creating cultural change in your library * Anticipate potential barriers to change Leadership strategies for building connection and diffusing difficult situations Tuesday, April 30, 2024 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/leadership-strategies.html 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 organizational culture, communication, problem-solving, and mental health. This webinar introduces skills grounded in the “Good Inside” approach, and will cover practical strategies to develop empathetic, curiosity-led leadership that assumes good intent in moments of conflict and stress, along with actionable communication skills for connection and cooperation. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.

Internet Safety Workshops
by Marla Drury 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Hi Library Land! I was at a meeting at our local Child Advocacy Center yesterday, and a discussion came up about the uptick of children and teens being propositioned by strangers on social media, particularly Snapchat and TikTok. Many mentioned that there is a strong internet safety message being taught to students in lower elementary, but that drops off completely toward middle school and high school. To that end, has anyone partnered with schools and/or local PTOs to provide workshops about internet safety for older students? What programs or resources did you use? I think this is an incredibly important issue and I would love to be able to provide education on keeping your children (and probably the adults, too!) safe while using these apps. Thanks for any input! I will compile responses for anyone interested. [cid:image001.jpg@01DA751E.49042CD0] Marla Drury Juvenile & Young Adult Services Librarian Alma Public Library 500 E.

by Jake Rynicki 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Hey guys, we are doing a project here at Romulus and we are giving away 140 CD Cases with the one unlocker. Please let me know if any of you would like them. We have three boxes totaling 140 cases ready to be shipped out. If any library has cases like these already with the unlocker feel free to ask for them as well. We have a box of 30, a box of 32, and a box of 78. Just reply with how many you want, if you have a unlocker for them, and your code. We would prefer to give to one library to ensure the one unlocker goes with all cases. However, like I said if you have an unlocker for them already feel free to ask for some of the cases too.
