Youth Services Programming During A Time of Crisis<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=20&> Thursday, September 6, 2018 2:00 PM EST Youth Services Programming During a Time of Crisis, is a downloadable toolkit*<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM2017_Youth_Services_Programming_in_crisis_toolkit_599639_7.pdf> designed to help public libraries in times of crisis plan programming that creates a sense of normalcy for youth and teens in times of disaster or upheaval. This toolkit is the Capstone Project designed and written by Jamie Gilmore, Grace Morris, Erica Trotter, and Alexandria Wardrip through the University of Washington's Information School. It was also featured (8/30/17) in The Conversation's article, "Public Libraries can (literally) Serve as a Shelter from the Storm<https://theconversation.com/public-libraries-can-literally-serve-as-a-shelter-from-the-storm-83070>," by Grace Morris. Grace will be joining LM's Youth Services Coordinator, Cathy Lancaster, to give library staff and administrators a deeper look at why the toolkit was created and how you can use it in your library. This will be an interactive webinar, so come prepared to roll up your sleeves and contribute your thoughts and ideas!
