Hello all,

I am working on having a book mending session at my library where we will be showing some very basic ways of how people can repair their books at home. We are trying to keep this session to the basics, but would like to be able to refer people to a professional if they have a bigger job then what we can help with. Do any of you have a book repair professional that you would recommend that I can refer our attendees to?

Thank you,
Sara

Hello  library community!

Here?s a quick reminder about learning resources available through the State Library and other organizations:

Be sure to visit the State Library of Oregon?s CE website<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/conted> for more learning resources and the CE Calendar<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/conted/free#s-lib-ctab-24120710-1> which also includes links to the PDF<https://maine-msl.libguides.com/ld.php?content_id=74557260> and online<https://www.webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html> versions of this month's free events listed by category (compiled by the Maine State Library hosted by WebJunction).
In-person training opportunity:
Applications now open to attend the Civic Switchboard Institute<https://civic-switchboard.github.io/2024-institutes/> in Portland, OR, July 11 and 12, 2024.

The Civic Switchboard project<https://civic-switchboard.github.io/> is focused on building the capacity of libraries to engage in civic data work in their communities. Through our IMLS-funded Civic Switchboard Institute program, we will host six regional and one online institutes for library workers interested in serving as intermediaries between community members and civic data and developing civic data roles for their libraries.

There are several goals of the Institutes, including:
?        To expand a community of practice focused on libraries and civic data and connect regional library workers;
?        To support participants in understanding their civic data ecosystem and potential roles for their libraries;
?        To connect participants with exemplars of library civic data intermediary work by featuring the work of host sites;
?        To foster critical data literacies through engagement with topics in civic data that speak to power, social justice, and responsible data practices to mitigate harms.

Additional information about the institute is available<https://civic-switchboard.github.io/2024-institutes/>; you can apply to attend the Portland Civic Switchboard Institute here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeS726UjV2zE9b1yVrs_JrIuCGCsVF0ywqkdWI7eRTwYH1_fg/viewform?pli=1> with applications being due on May 9. There will also be an online Civic Switchboard Institute in November with applications opening later this year.

Autism-Ready Libraries aimed to improve public libraries? capacity to provide early literacy programming to autistic children and their families. We did so by investigating the needs and barriers faced by autistic children and their families in libraries, as well as the needs and barriers experienced by librarians who wish to better serve this population. Accessing this recording requires a free ALA eLearning account).

Tuesday, April 30, 12p PT, Leadership strategies for building connection and diffusing difficult situations<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/leadership-strategies.html>
This webinar introduces skills and practical strategies for developing empathetic, curiosity-led leadership, to help improve communication, connection and cooperation at your library.

As library staff, our collective morale and goodwill are often eroded by a tidal wave of factors including book challenges, budget constraints, staffing shortages, toxic online discourse, and an increasingly divided culture. In times like these, searching for common ground might sound na?ve or idealistic, but intentionally cultivating these mindsets can have a profound effect on your organizational culture, communication, problem-solving, and mental health. This webinar introduces skills grounded in the ?Good Inside? approach, and will cover practical strategies to develop empathetic, curiosity-led leadership that assumes good intent in moments of conflict and stress, along with actionable communication skills for connection and cooperation.
