With the recent economic downturn, we are experiencing firsthand its effect on our libraries, our lives, and our communities. WebJunction recently began hosting a series of virtual “Town Halls” on the general subject of tough times, staff training, and now a session focused specifically on how tough times impact Spanish speakers and our outreach efforts to that community. Update: The archive of this session is available: Town Hall on SLO in Tough Times. This new webinar format is designed to encourage participation from all attendees. Please come to this one-hour session prepared to ask and answer questions, share stories, brainstorm solutions, and offer practical advice. Bring your challenges and ideas, and we’ll tackle them together in the town hall—and in the coming year through additional webinars, resource sharing and learning on WebJunction.
