<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As more and more bills impacting our freedom to read get proposed, the importance of speaking about them directly to legislatures can not be understated. In this workshop webinar,
American Booksellers Association’s Philomena Polefrone, EveryLibrary’s Peter Bromberg, and PEN America’s Laura Benitez will share the basics of testifying about bills to state legislative committees. This webinar will go over the basics of book ban-related
bills, speaking to legislative committees, and how to strategize comments to effectively get their message across. Participants will walk away with information about giving public comments and crafting the most effective possible testimony.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Partnering with community can be a great strategy for the Public Library. Identifying the needs of community and then partnering with the correct resource can be a win-win solution
for patrons and others. There is no need to recreate the wheel and there are significant benefits involved for the library and the community partner. In this webinar we will look at the foundational principles of creating and sustaining impactful community
partnerships.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Customer service skills generally consist of the knowledge, processes, expertise and the understanding that are needed to make customers as satisfied as possible. These skills are
developed through several different avenues, including training, support and experience. There are generally two different types of these skills: people and technical. Both types of skills are equally important and good customer service is the ability to combine
a good balance of both skill sets to provide the best experience possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Community hubs are places where people of all backgrounds can gather to socialize, learn and work together, and develop trusting relationships. Community hubs can make it easier to
feel a sense of belonging. Often, people think about community centers, parks, and schools as community hubs, and they certainly are. Many other community spaces and organizations can also serve that role—even those initiated for other reasons, like libraries
and YMCAs. In this session, you’ll hear how the Wilmington (DE) Institute Free Library and the Greensboro (NC) YMCA expanded their missions and purposefully expanded beyond the walls of their buildings to create intergenerational and cross-neighborhood connection
opportunities that reduce social isolation and increase a sense of wellbeing. Their experiences can inspire other organizations to serve as community hubs, as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
