Support your community’s needs and transform your library services with two can’t-miss courses this November: LGBTQIA+ Centered Programs and Power of Partnerships! |
Course Overview: How to Build LGBTQIA+ Centered Spaces, Programs, and Services |
Create a more equitable and affirming space for everyone by learning the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities of the LGBTQIA+ community. Research shows that programs, partnerships, practices, and curricula that center LGBTQIA+ people benefit heterosexual and cisgender people, too. This course will teach you how to navigate difficult conversations and advocate for LGBTQIA+ people, books, and programs, even and especially in the face of censorship challenges. You will also learn how to develop robust LGBTQ-centered programs and instruction alongside strategies for building connections with your local queer community. |
