purple background with text: Library Law and Virtual Services Library Law and Virtual Services 

The pandemic forced public libraries to turn to the virtual world to continue providing services and information to their communities. These programs are innovative but can also be fraught with legal grey areas. Privacy, copyright, discrimination and liability issues, for example, continuously hover on the margins of virtual programs. This session will address the most common legal issues libraries should consider when providing library services in the non-social media Virtual World.

purple background with text: Libraries and Inclusivity - Step by Step Libraries and Inclusivity - Step by Step 

The concept of inclusivity is accepted and enthusiastically embraced as an important, good thing. The struggle is often transferring intentions into implemented policies and day to day operations. This session will discuss the legal and library management aspects of inclusivity, provide free and lowcost tools to help initiate inclusivity, and demonstrate strategies libraries can employ to coach their communities, staff and boards on what inclusivity could look like for their library.

Community partnerships can help to diversify youth collections. This session describes a mutually beneficial partnership between Eastern Michigan University classes and Estabrook School’s library and between an EMU student and public libraries. In addition to discussing possible partnerships, we will share contemporary works of diverse children’s and young adult literature with a focus on queer works and strategize about adding the books to academic, school, and public library collections.
