Meeting of the MHLS Nominations & Elections Committee.

Meeting of the MHLS Incentives Committee.

Participants will have the opportunity to hear the personal coming out stories of the facilitators from The SafeZone Initiative LLC and be able to have a safe and affirming place to ask any and all questions and have an open dialogue. The participants will be able to further understand what it means to be OUT, the difference between gender identity, gender expression, biological sex, and orientation. Explore the current climate for LGBTQ+ folks, and go through tangible tips for best practices for communicating respectfully with LGBTQ+ patrons within library settings.

Please note this is the first part in the two part series for participants who want the SafeZone Certification training. 

This online session will not be recorded.
