Freedom Lifted has launched a new virtual training, Justice at Work in Public Libraries, led by nationally-recognized trainer, facilitator, and leadership coach Mia Henry. With this course, your library team can: take the course on your own schedule, at your own pace; learn frameworks that get to the heart of social justice; adopt a shared language you can use to talk openly and honestly with one another; and create plans of action to shift culture and develop practices that advance justice in your library. Individual and group registrations are available. Learn more at www.learninglab.freedomlifted.com<http://www.learninglab.freedomlifted.com>. This training was developed in partnership with the PLA Committee on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice.
