Still time to register for this week’s Inclusion webinar.

The Collaborative Summer Library Program’s Inclusion Committee is hosting a webinar for library staff with author Dr. Ruth Wilson called Naturally Inclusive (which is also the title of her 2022 book). Find out more about the book here: https://www.gryphonhouse.com/books/details/naturally-inclusive-engaging-children-of-all-abilities-outdoors. This topic aligns very well with our upcoming 2024 Adventure Begins at Your Library theme, so join us to find out how to make your library’s outdoor programming inclusive for all. The webinar will be on November 15, 2023 at 2pm ET/1pm CT/Noon MT/11am PT. It’s free and open to all members. Please register here: https://tinyurl.com/rsbrx8us. A zoom link will be sent shortly before the event to all registrants, as well as the recording. The webinar will be closed captioned, and a transcript provided.
