PLA Webinar Series: Understanding and Serving People Experiencing Homelessness

PLA Webinar Series:
Understanding and Serving People Experiencing Homelessness:
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Library Service

June 3 and 10; 2:00 PM EST

In January of 2014, there were 578,424 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in the United States. As homelessness continues to increase, so does the significant intersection between homelessness and library service. This two-part series will address the prevalence, causes, and impact of homelessness and related trauma on children and adults, while exploring ways to address homelessness in public libraries.

At the conclusion of this two-part webinar series, participants will:

  • Identify common causes of homelessness among adults, youth, and families;
  • Describe the impact of exposure to trauma on children and adults, including potential triggers; and
  • Recognize core principles of a trauma-informed approach to library service.

Schedule:

  • Wednesday, June 3, 2015
    Part I: Covers prevalence and causes of homelessness and also the impact of these traumatic experiences on adults and children, with a link to the intersection between homelessness and public libraries.
  • Wednesday, June 10, 2015
    Part II: Continues with ways to respond to homelessness in a public library setting—including some of the models that currently exist, as well as the concept of “trauma-informed” library services and what the core principles of this approach look like.

This webinar series is intended for all public library staff.

Makerspaces: The Library’s Legal Answers (ALA Editions Workshop)
A 90-minute workshop, Thursday, June 18, 2015, 2:30pm Eastern/1:30 Central/12:30 Mountain/11:30am Pacific

Library makerspaces are truly transformative environments that advance learning and innovation in communities. This space is a great new way where people can gather to create, invent, and learn, but you will need to be aware of and understand legal implications and concepts related to patent, trademark, and product liability.

The Library’s Legal Answers team—Mary Minow, Tomas Lipinksi, and Gretchen McCord—will guide you in a positive approach to library makerspaces, true to the library mission of intellectual freedom, access, and learning. Cutting through any alarmism about the possibility of such things as guns, sex toys, or illegal drugs being made using 3D printers, they will show you how to limit your liability with consistent practices and sensible policy statements, covering topics such as:

  • Key clauses for waivers and partnership agreements.
  • How to file a one-page form with the U.S. Copyright Office that will protect you from potential infringing activity
  • What to look for in local building codes before you solder
  • Guarding against indirect or vicarious liability lawsuits
  • Where the First Amendment meets makerspaces
  • Protecting privacy in the sign-up process
  • Americans with Disabilities Act compliance

You will also learn and be able to:

  • Minimize liability for copyright or patent infringement claims
  • File a one-page form with the U.S. Copyright Office
  • Ensure access for patrons with disabilities
