Race in America: History Matters with Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden

Black History Month is a time we pay tribute to the vast contributions of Black Americans to our country. On Friday, Feb. 5 at 1:00pm ET, Washington Post senior critic-at-large Robin Givhan speaks with Carla Hayden, who made history as the first woman and the first African American to lead the Library of Congress, about marking this moment in the wake of widespread protests over the death of George Floyd, and how the past informs our understanding of the present.

ALSC Webinar: Advocating for K-12 Resources During Covid-19

 

Children’s librarians are experts in supporting K-12 learning and work side by side with schools to support youth and families. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, however, school partners are now challenged by lack of staffing, resources, time, and attention. What can your library do to support educators more effectively locally and state-wide? Dakota County Library’s Youth Services Manager Renee Grassi will share strategies and ideas you can utilize to help advocate for K-12 learning resources to school librarians, teachers and other educational professionals to more equitably serve youth and families in your communities.
