If you are new to or unfamiliar with WebJunction webinars, you may not know that WebJunction began regularly hosting webinars ten years ago. Why webinars? Library staff frequently cited that critical barriers to pursuing learning were lack of time or funds
to attend in-person training, and WebJunction responded with webinars that have since become a key component of the WebJunction experience, made free and available to all who work or volunteer in libraries. Check out this article to learn more about these
webinars and how you can make them a valuable part of your continuing education. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

she looked to engage youth in conversations with about race, racism and current events. This article has details on how the event was designed and organized, including how Miriam worked with local partners to host a successful panel that met a community interest
and need. A great list of resources as well as a recording of the event are also available to help inspire you and your library.<br>
