QUILTBAG: Welcoming and Supporting LGBTQ+ Teens in the Library A one-hour webinar Wednesday, May 30, 2018 1:30 to 2:30pm Online from the comfort of your own screen Being a teen is difficult—your whole life is a swirl of confusion and emotion and hormones and stress. But imagine for a moment that you are a teen whose sexuality does not conform to the norms in your small, rural, Michigan town. Where would you turn for information and support and a safe space to explore who you are? The answer, of course: your local library! But the LGBTQ+ world changes so fast, and not all of us are comfortable keeping up with it. As teen librarians, we’ve pledged to serve all the youth who come through our doors, but sometimes LGBTQ+ teens can be a challenge. What do LGBTQ+ teens need from us? How can we approach them and start conversations that mean something? What issues might we confront? Get all these answers and more from Katie Mitchell, Saline District Library teen librarian extraordinaire! She will give you all the tools you need to truly welcome and engage this demographic . . . and make a difference in young lives. Sponsored by Woodlands Library Cooperative’s Children’s & Teen Services Committee, this one-hour webinar will help smooth the way for you by increasing your comfort level. We’ll help you get your policies and talking points in place before any issues arise. We’ll help you do your part to help decrease teen depression and suicide in your community. You’ll learn how to bridge the gap between your board and the teens in your area! *Free* for all to attend.

Hello collective mind! Does your library take paper library card applications? Have you transitioned to online? Are paper copies kept on file? How long do you keep them on file? These are a few questions I am seeking answers to, in order to streamline our "getting a library card application" workflow for the staff side of our ILS. Please email me off-list and I will be happy to put together a compilation of responses. Thank you! *Shauna Quick* Circulation Manager Brandon Township Public Library 304 South St. Ortonville, MI 48642 (248)627-1472 squick(a)brandonlibrary.org
