Resources to Support Youth in the Post-Election Climate
Libraries can play a key role in supporting all youth who are fearful or anxious, or who have been bullied, threatened, or assaulted following the election.  Libraries can also help communities reconnect and heal after a divisive time.  To help library staff in this effort, YALSA has compiled a list of free resources libraries can leverage to address concerns of youth and their families.  Access them here: http://bit.ly/2flHuxL
