Greetings!

Check out this FREE webinar from the Public Library Association (PLA).

Tuesday, December 5 from 2:00-3:00PM

In alignment with ALA’s strategic direction on equity, diversity, and inclusion, this webinar will provide an introductory understanding of the concepts of power, identity, and oppression, and how they impact public libraries’ staff, services, programs, collections, and spaces. Through presentation and dialogue, the panelists will discuss the role of allies in addressing these concepts.

• Have gained an introduction to concepts of power, privilege, and oppression;
