Upcoming TRAINs
The following TRAIN schedule is subject to change.
3/18/2021 - Using a Trauma-Informed Approach in Small & Rural Libraries
11:00 am-12:30 pm PT/1:00-2:30 pm CT
Understanding how trauma impacts the lives of people can help library staff better serve everyone, even our most vulnerable patrons. Being trauma-informed and using a trauma-informed approach can assist libraries in being proactive and create safe spaces for everyone in our community. This webinar will discuss the definition of trauma, different forms of trauma, and the effects of trauma. Participants will be able to explain the importance of understanding trauma in the library setting and identify ways to respond using a trauma informed approach.
Presented by Tiffany Russell, LMSW, Social Services Manager, Niles District Library (MI)
4/8/2021 - Helping Patrons to Improve Their Financial Decision Making and Outcomes
This TRAIN will provide detailed information on free financial literacy resources provided by the federal government and available in your community. A panel of librarians will present on how they are implementing financial literacy programming in their libraries through the utilization of free resources and key partnerships. Presented by Ken McDonnell, Financial Education Program Analyst, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; Gigi Wolfe, Lead Education Specialist, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City; Carla Tillmon. Community Affairs Specialist, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Registration will open in late March.
5/20/2021 - Roundtable: Topic TBD
6/17/2021 - From Self-Care to Community Well-being through Design Thinking
We are hearing more about compassion fatigue and librarian burnout. The common prescription is to turn inward with self-care practices, but going-it-alone may increase feelings of isolation. What if you could tap into your larger community to bolster your own well-being while increasing social cohesion for all? Design thinking strategies are tailor-made for tackling this kind of gnarly problem. In this workshop, we will uncover community needs, explore the intersection with our own needs, generate lots of potential ideas, and prototype some solutions. It’s a stimulating and fun process that could have a big impact on your rural community. Presented by Brenda Hough, Instructional Designer, Infopeople/Califa; Betha Gutsche, WebJunction Programs Manager, OCLC. Registration will open in early June.
