Special Youth Services Session: “MD Libraries Pride Panel: LGBTQ+ Programming and Outreach”
1:00-2:30pm
The past year, full of pandemic restrictions and racial upheaval, has been a challenging one for teens as many have experienced isolation, anxiety, confusion, and a disconnect with supportive adults or mentors. These challenges have been especially true for youth within the LGBTQ+ community.
As we look toward re-engaging with our tweens and teens in our communities in upcoming months, come to this virtual 90 minute session to hear from a panel of library staff who have designed successful programs and initiatives for LGBTQ+ youth in a variety of ways.
Learning Objectives/Participants will be able to:
--Identify one potential community partner for LGBTQ+ programming.
--Name at least two strategies for successful LGBTQ+ programming.
--Describe at least one way to be an ally to this community through library services.
CE: 1.5 hours
Registration closes 6/25 @ 5:00pm. A Zoom link will be shared with registrants on 6/28.
