To live out our core values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, libraries are seeking out ways to be more community-centered. Community-led planning is a method that can be used to create public programs and services that celebrate the strengths and interests of diverse communities. But it is also a big cultural shift for many libraries. In this webinar, library leaders will learn about an evidence-based process to build their library’s capacity to make this change.
By the end of this webinar, attendees will:
- be able to define community-led planning, and understand how it differs from community engagement, outreach, or promotion;
- understand the twelve factors that influence libraries’ and librarians’ capacity for community-led work; and
- be able to apply the three-phase Community-Led Capacity Building model to their own libraries.
