The 5 Essentials For Creating Community-Centered Libraries

Library Journal

An Intensive 4-Week Course for Building Strong Libraries and Better, Engaged Communities
Join peers from around the nation and beyond to hear from leading library directors doing innovative work to learn why and how librarians are taking advantage of powerful community engagement tools and—more important—applying what they learn to create highly collaborative, people-centered libraries and communities. This deep dive online course is designed to impact all staff and stakeholders from front line staff to the director’s chair. We’ll provide a step-by-step guide to turn your community engagement ideas into a powerful roadmap for setting direction, measuring outcomes, and leading your community.
What you will learn: This instructor-led online course features weekly guest speakers and personalized interaction to combine real-time learning with ongoing group discussions over four weeks. Participants access course materials, slides, and exercises prior to and throughout the course’s start. This approach allows you to focus on the coursework when you have time each week and apply key concepts to your immediate work as you continue to engage with the materials and guests learning through weekly interaction, collaboration and workshop activities that all take place online. Throughout your deep dive experience, you will be guided through the five essential components model and provided with tips, tools, and techniques for creating a highly-collaborative community-centered library. You’ll walk away with tools for discovering and contributing to your community through outreach, relationship-building, and meaningful programming. Online course features
