<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">Public libraries are uniquely positioned to help their communities address substance misuse, homelessness, and mental health concerns, by connecting residents
with accurate information and resources. Libraries are seen by many as safe, neutral spaces; but some topics carry fear and stigma that can have an outsized impact on staff and community members’ ability to respond. Compassionate training, policies, programming,
and choice of terminology can help remove barriers that prevent people from seeking help for themselves or others, and give library staff the information and support they need to address this and other public health crises. This webinar will use several examples
of library responses to the opioid crisis to highlight approaches, resources, and programs that can help reduce stigma and fear and promote healthier communities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F4E79">Dissent and conflict are critical components of progress and are catalysts that move individuals, institutions, and communities toward systemic change.
Author Cass Sunstein writes, "Behavior that is sensible, prudent, and courteous is likely to lead individuals and societies to blunder." Librarianship, on the whole, is prone to such behavior, choosing conformity over conflict, and inertia over action. Authentic
dissent in librarianship can be a catalyst to facilitate positive change against systemic oppression in libraries, and in society at large.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
