Hello, everyone,
I am in the information gathering stage for a possible IMLS Planning grant to design a librarian-directed, library services-focused training curriculum around serving people experiencing homelessness in libraries. My thinking is that this training would be an alternative to existing trainings, focus on social justice and equity, and have some emphasis on reaching and serving youth and families (as they are often underserved).
At this stage, I am looking for librarians and libraries that might be interested in being involved with the application, or are at least interested in brainstorming ideas of what this curriculum and its implementation might look like.
If you are interested, please email me off-list at vikki.terrile@qc.cuny.edu.
Thank you!
Vikki
