action that promotes the library$B!G(Bs success and contributes to your own enhanced ability to do your job well, with improved resources. Join us for this webinar to help your library begin to build advocacy into your everyday routines. Learn about inexpensive
ideas and activities, how to tap into the Friends of the Library and other groups, and how to figure out what matters to $B!H(Bthem$B!I(B (i.e. funding partners, community, grantors). Before you know it, you will be advocating like a natural.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

S.C., grappled with in 2017. Recognizing that there was no single answer, they launched initiatives on multiple internal and external fronts. Starting with a Social Awareness Taskforce, geared toward community engagement and courageous conversations, they
explored topics surrounding social and criminal justice, women$B!G(Bs rights and race. By using innovative approaches like Circles of Dialogue and mobile empathy labs, nearly 1,500 people have participated in the library$B!G(Bs race, equity and inclusion programming.
To further their efforts, they have also focused internally, empowering staff to lead the charge to understand their biases, macroaggressions, and cultural competence through Let$B!G(Bs Talk gatherings, Check Your Bubble worksheets, and other effective tools. Hearing
how Richland Library moved the needle on honest dialogue, empathy, and equity with their staff and community, you will be inspired to dig in and do the work at your own library.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
