[Libs-Or] "Homeless in Your Library" 1/2 Day Workshop in Vancouver, WA

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!

The following is being offered free of charge at the Fort Vancouver Regional Library Headquarters in Vancouver, WA thanks to our colleagues from the Washington State Library.

Presenter: Ryan Dowd
Date: 10/9/2019
Time: 12:00 noon to 5:00p

Description:

Do you have patrons who bring in too many bags?  Smell really bad?  Panhandle in your library?  Argue with you and other patrons?  This interactive training is much more than simple "sensitivity training."  You will learn why homeless individuals do what they do and the practical tools for resolving problems.  There is a special focus on mentally ill and/or addicted patrons.  After this training, you will have more confidence with homeless patrons.  The presenter Ryan Dowd is Executive Director of a large homeless shelter outside of Chicago and author of the ALA book, "The Librarian's Guide to Homelessness."

PLEASE NOTE: An evaluation for this training session will be sent to each participant via email the day after the session attended.  Completing this evaluation is a requirement of attendance.  The feedback from these evaluations is a condition from IMLS who provides the funding to WSL. This funding allows us to offer these trainings to library staff for free.

Registration is required: https://www.sos.wa.gov/library/libraries/training/trainingview.aspx?event=3598&audience=state

Note: This workshop is sponsored by the Washington State Library and is funded in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).

Cheers!
