Core Connections: Building LGBTQIA-Affirming Library Workplaces

For library managers, directors and trustees. Library directors and trustees play a pivotal role in shaping workplace culture, employee well-being, and the overall climate of their institutions. This session provides library administration and managers with a forum to explore what meaningful allyship looks like for LGBTQ+ library staff, how library spaces are an essential part of allyship, and a general overview on what can be done to make your workplaces safer and more LGBTQIA+ affirming. This session will be 90-minutes.

 

Landon Callahan (he/him) is a Lead Trainer from the DESE Safe Schools Program for LGBTQ+ Students in Massachusetts, which provides comprehensive training and technical assistance to support LGBTQ students, families and staff. Their work focuses on creating safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments by addressing bullying, promoting understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity, and improving school climate.

 

This session is part of MBLC's 12-month series, Core Connections: Building Community Supports and Allyship at Your Library.
