Core Webinar: Building Capacity for Community-led Planning

CHICAGO—To live out our core values of equity, diversity and inclusion, libraries are seeking 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. However, it can also be 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 the program, 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.
