</div>
<div><b>The kids are not all
white (Washington State
Library)</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some 43% of Millennial
adults are non-white and the
U.S. Census Bureau projects
that the full U.S.
population will be majority
non-white around 2043.
Kidlit publishers do not
reflect these population
dynamics. Do library shelves
and programs? All young
readers need mirrors and
windows that both reflect
and open to the world around
them. Library materials and
programs are important in
helping children make
cross-cultural connections
and developing skills
necessary to function in a
pluralistic society.
Resources are readily
available for librarians to
meet these needs.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The concept of
negotiation is something we
use almost every day with
co-workers, bosses, friends,
and family. Learning to
negotiate successfully,
especially where both
parties feel the result is a
win-win solution, is an
essential skill. The ability
to negotiate complex or
high-stakes issues often
requires a high degree of
emotional intelligence,
self-awareness, and
preparation in order to
achieve satisfactory
results. The presenters will
share lessons learned from
their manifold negotiation
experiences over the years,
with an emphasis on the key
emotional intelligence
skills everyone should focus
on mastering, as well as
tips on becoming successful
negotiators. The lessons
they have learned from
negotiating will benefit
attendees looking for
productive interpersonal
tools.</div>

Stops: New Tools for
Taking Action
(WebJunction)</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This webinar will
highlight free, newly
revised downloadable
materials for public
libraries distilled from
landmark advocacy and
awareness-building programs.
Learn about two resources
scheduled for release in
summer 2015: updated
curriculum from Turning the
Page including tools,
worksheets and training
materials you can adapt
locally to grow your team’s
advocacy knowledge and
abilities; and a new online
guide that walks through
each step of planning and
carrying out a local library
awareness campaign modeled
after Geek the Library. Hear
from library leaders who
have put these ideas to work
to build advocacy know-how,
increase staff confidence,
and engage more deeply with
the community. Whether you
are looking to get started,
or seeking to maintain
momentum following a recent
advocacy effort, join us to
discuss strategies to take
your library to the next
level.</div>

<div><b>Building More
Respectful Dialogue in
Meetings (4Good)</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dialogue builds more
insightful and better
supported decisions in
meetings. Effective dialogue
requires a respectful
exchange of views. But this
can be difficult when the
issue is complex and there
are different stakes in its
resolution. Resorting to
meeting norms or asking
people to behave in a
certain way is seldom
enough. But, you can
structure your meeting to
make a productive,
respectful dialogue
possible. In this webinar
you will learn: how to
enable all to be heard while
staying on time; how to lead
a productive, not defensive
discussion on a proposal;
how to hear all sides of an
issue and build a way
forward; and how to build
alignment on decisions and
avoid “sides.”</div>

Work! Hosting Literacy
Workshops for Families

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Without a doubt,
children’s experiences
during the preschool
years affect their later
language and literacy
skills and achievement.
High-quality early
childhood education
programs are one way in
which we support
development during these
years, but family
interactions and home
environments also play a
crucial role. In this
presentation, Kathryn
Roberts and Nell Duke,
co-authors with Gail
Jordan of Engaging
Families in Children’s
Literacy Development: A
Complete Workshop Series
and language and
literacy education
faculty at Wayne State
University and The
University of Michigan,
will explore not only
the “why” and “what” of
family literacy
workshops, but also
practical tips for
making them work for
families. Specifically,
participants will have
opportunities to learn
about six constructs of
literacy that are key to
later literacy success,
specific ways in which
all families can
integrate those
constructs into their
daily routines, and
(most importantly) how
to plan for workshops
that will be engaging

to Plan for Grant
Proposal Success

have to worry about
being unprepared for a
grant proposal, grant

you’ll need to do to
make sure you’re
ready. Takeaways: the
5 pieces of
information you
absolutely need when
planning a funding
proposal; how to use
those plans to shape a
full proposal
template; and how you
can prepare your
proposal to make grant
reporting a snap.

working on your
grantseeking “pitch”
to prospective
funders? If you would
