The sessions included a chance for participants to journal and then practice in pairs different ways staff can handle these situations. Based on the evaluation and participant’s comments Collins received, both sessions were extremely successful<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif">This webinar introduces skills and practical strategies for developing empathetic, curiosity-led leadership, to help improve communication, connection
and cooperation at your library. <br>
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 naïve 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to better support their communities? It's been over a year since generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Dall-E have been introduced in public spaces and consciousness, but AI has been around long before these tools yet there are still lingering
concerns, challenges, and considerations. Join us for this free virtual conference to learn how libraries and library workers are engaging with artificial intelligence tools in their libraries from research support to information literacy to technical services.
The conversations held in the conference will address the practical implications of these tools in the profession.
