Core webinar: Building Capacity for Community-led Planning
Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2021
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description: To live out our core values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, libraries are seeking out ways to be more community-centered. Community-led planning is a method that can be used to create public programs and services that celebrate the strengths and interests of diverse communities. But it is also a big cultural shift for many libraries. In this webinar, library leaders will learn about an evidence-based process to build their library’s capacity to make this change.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of the webinar, attendees will:
- be able to define community-led planning, and understand how it differs from community engagement, outreach, or promotion;
- understand the twelve factors that influence libraries’ and librarians’ capacity for community-led work; and
- be able to apply the three-phase Community-Led Capacity Building model to their own libraries.
Who should attend?
Dr. Barbakoff’s research focuses on public libraries and public programs, but the lessons are applicable to libraries and services of many types because they focus on how to center the voice of underserved library users.
