<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline">Libraries are often the hubs of the communities they serve. However, that role comes with both challenges and responsibilities, especially as many communities struggle with difficult societal situations from
addiction, to homelessness, to unemployment and more. When times are tough, hope can be hard come by. Sometimes you need to borrow it, and the library can be a place to find it. Plan to attend our upcoming webinar to discuss ways in which libraries can make
small changes that can have a big impact and to learn how trauma-informed libraries can implement programming, initiate outreach, and equip librarians to better serve communities. <o:p></o:p></p>
