<p class="MsoPlainText">Tuesday, March 28, 2017 / 12:00 pm Pacific / 1 hour<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Libraries are among the few public spaces that feel safe and welcoming to everyone in our current political landscape. As librarians striving to provide equitable service, we are challenged to meet the needs
of patrons whose life experiences are markedly different from our own. To address these challenges, we have much to learn much from social workers, who are trained to approach their clients with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries. Whole Person
Librarianship draws from social work concepts to help librarians become more confident in learning from, interacting with, and serving diverse patrons. Learn basic ideas to build your empathy skills, such as cultural humility and person-in-environment, to
apply right away to your library practice, as well as where to find more in-depth information and support.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Tuesday, April 18, 2017 / 12:00 pm Pacific / 1 hour<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">To "choose civility" means to celebrate diversity and choose respect, compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness when interacting with others. Civility is the healing power we need to counteract the divisive, fragmented
forces that seem to be undermining our social fabric. Since 2006, Howard County Library System (MD) has been leading the way toward community connectedness with their
<a href="http://choosecivility.org/">Choose Civility</a> initiative. They, along with three library systems across the country, invite you to join the movement to nurture civility in your own community. Learn how kindness creates communities, how to challenge
stereotypes effectively, and cultivate random acts of civility. Find opportunities to implement Choose Civility to enhance internal and external customer service, develop partnerships and community support, and create a more connected community of people who
will #choose2Bkind. Let’s see civility go viral in 2017.<o:p></o:p></p>
