Good morning Michigan libraries!

Several years ago, I had seen a post on Reddit in which someone had photographed a 'tough topics' poster at a public library. The poster showed patrons where they might find some very important subjects that they might be hesitant to ask a librarian about, due to their sensitive nature.

I asked one of my department's Technology Training Associates to create one for us (shout out to Kayla Steeby for her work on this 🙂) so that we could update, customize, and possibly print these to display around our department.

I haven't seen anything like this for sale, so we thought we would just go ahead and make one ourselves and share it with anyone interested. I think this could be very helpful in empowering patrons to utilize library resources at their own comfort level.

If anyone is interested, I have here a link to a sharable Canva template, please just make yourself a copy that you can edit, print, download, etc.

Thank you everyone, and Happy Wednesday!
