WebJunction builds the knowledge, skills and confidence of library staff to power strong libraries that are the heart of vibrant communities. A program of OCLC Research<https://www.oclc.org/research.html>, and with financial support from the State Library of Ohio via federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds, WebJunction is free and welcome to all libraries to use, regardless of size, type or location.

Highlighted Content

  *   Golden Hour with the Library<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/golden-hour-with-library.html>: Forsyth County Public Library is taking programming on the road to meet some of their senior community members where they live. Golden Hour with the Library offers interactive activities based around a theme, such as travel, holiday traditions, or crafting. Participants are invited to take part in multi-sensory activities that include songs, games, images, and activities centered around the theme. The events take place monthly at ten senior living facilities, and are facilitated by the library’s five Outreach Team members. We connected with Lorraine Lane, the outreach manager at the library to learn more about this impactful program.
  *   Learning Groups for Navigating Civil Legal Issues of Natural Disasters Courses<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/learning-groups-for-nclind-courses.html>: The three-course series Navigating Civil Legal Issues of Natural Disasters is well-suited to be the core learning content for a group learning experience with peers. Since civil law is complex and local, these courses are particularly appropriate for collaborative learning. The course work includes understanding local community needs, creating a collection of local disaster-related legal resources, and both finding and partnering with local legal agencies and emergency management networks. Group learning can work for a small, self-organized group of a few co-workers at a single library as well as a larger, multi-branch group organized as an “official” training by a system, region or state.

Creating a Restorative Library Culture

Broadly defined, restorative justice is an approach to repairing and addressing harm done within a community. Related to this approach, restorative practices provide proactive ways to build the relationships that can help to address and repair some of that harm done. Oak Park Public Library is using restorative practices to better serve both community and staff. In this session, you’ll learn about restorative justice and restorative practices, and how these practices can guide a powerful shift in communities and within an organizational culture. The webinar will have actionable strategies you can start practicing immediately, as well as methods for you to build buy-in from your organization as you get started on this impactful work.

Universal Design at Your Library
Friday, March 31, 2023 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes
Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/universal-design-at-your-library.html

As we work to ensure that our library spaces, services, and programs are welcoming to all members of the community, it is important to know how to design for inclusion. The principles of Universal Design offer guidance on how to design in ways that prioritize usability and accessibility for all. This presentation will introduce the concept of Universal Design, explain how it contrasts with accessibility, and offer concrete advice for how to apply each of the principles of Universal Design at any library. The examples and ideas provided will focus on high-impact changes that can be done within a range of budgets from low (or even no) cost ideas to advice for planning for large-scale renovation projects.
