How the Work of Fred Rogers Supports the Evolution of Public Libraries

On-Demand
Webinar
Learn how Fred Rogers’ work can inform the evaluation of library services and support the wellbeing of library staff.

Public libraries uphold a civic responsibility to provide communities a space to connect, learn, and grow collectively. Their identity reflects a global landscape of diverse viewpoints and history. Similarly, Fred Rogers worked tirelessly to create a welcoming neighborhood for all. In this on-demand webinar, attendees learn how Rogers’ philosophy aligns with the mission of public libraries and the three philosophical keys identified in a recent study; how to implement the Neighborhood of Make-Believe as an asset model approach when evaluating library services; and how to apply Rogers’ philosophy to support the wellbeing of library staff.
